Yea, then I won't be doing that then. I don't feel like being jailed for fraud.

I personally believe that the only time I'm having problems, it's with depression. Never have I truly had a manic episode.

Have you considered reciprocity? Several states use mental health as a criterion only if the applicant has been involuntarily committed or adjudicated incompetent to handle their own affairs.

The CHL instructor said that it shouldn't disqualify me either, if I ...

I hate to disclose this over the internet, but here it goes.

I went in to a mental health clinic in 2012 on my own (no judge) and was diagnosed as bipolar. I took medications for a couple years and completely stopped in early 2014. I have no criminal history and no drug or alcohol dependency.
