I mean I get kinda irked as well but I understand this is just it's colloquial definition. Sucks but people prolly won't stop, just like with antisocial. I'm not gonna always be the "well technically..." guy 24/7.

Is it possible to have the same kind of stuff going on in your brain to cause bipolar, but also have other stuff going on in your brain that sort of corrects it a bit and prevents you from going super wild and crazy?

Let me use an analogy. You have a leaking pipe. And the leaking pipe is bad because it gets water on the floor. The leaking pipe represents bipolar disorder. But there's also some nasty build-up in the pipe, which is caused by another issue. This represents another mental disorder. Because of the presence of the other disorder, the pipe doesn't leak very much water on the carpet.

Does that make sense?

I mean it usually just gets compounded. I think I qualify for what you're thinking but it honestly just makes everything worse. Like bipolar and borderline can be comorbid and that doesn't help. I got stacked with psychosis and drug addiction and they just became more symptoms to treat.
