sense of self & belonging
I’ve been worried for a while about this. I lied to my doctor about my mental health symptoms because I didn’t want to get judged. But I strongly believe I may be Bipolar II. I’ve done my research and a lot of the symptoms match with my moods. How can I bring this up to my doctor. Especially since I’m still technically a “minor”

Just like you did here. What are you hoping the doctor will do for you?

Hum, if you trust your doctor, id be open and honest. Reschedule another appointment and get it out. Otherwise, find another doctor who you think you might feel more comfortable with. It’s important to have that trust and communication. Leave the diagnosing to the professionals. Focus on how you can live well and build that team around you to support you
