Yeah sounds like your therapist thought if it's in family you're likely to have it. If she thinks it's like bipolar 2 it def should be used much much more time on that, since it's a bit vague and many other things which have same symptoms. If you have a good relationship with therapist i think it's time to have a chat about this, but honestly it's questionable when they just... dropped a diagnosis like that in 40 min. 
bipolar 2 would be a little easier for me to accept, but she diagnosed me as bipolar 1, which does not resonate with me at all.

my therapist and the psyc are two different people.
I've been emailing with my therapist since last night about what to do. 
shit thought it was bp 2 you got diagnosed with since it can relate to many other mental or neurodivergent disorders. 
Odd to give you bp 1 if there's not really mania in the picture, my mom has bp1 and it shows etc. Since your mother has it it's obv that you know how it is and can tell if you have those symptoms or not. 
I definitely had some kind of out-of-the-normal episode for me, but I do not believe it was full blown mania at all.

That can happen, but i can imagine that it's tbh... very clear if it's full blown mania / bp 1 and not just out of ordanary episode which can be anything and depends on circumstances. Even most ppl have such experience/a bit off episode without being labelled as mania. Idk but 40 min and give you diagnosis sounds unprofessional, it could be anything and should def use more time to find out to give the right treatment.

yeah I think my mind is pretty made up on either finding someone else, or not seeing a psych at all until my therapist has a better idea of whats going on and can act as a bridge for me.

she never even asked me what events led up to the episode, I literally could have just cracked under pressure, but I was never given the opportunity to explore it.

Many things seems like ''ah it's def x and y'' but as therapists they need to look on the whole picture to understand. If many things which i told my therapist without context i would be def many other serious diagnosis. What i also dont like about those manuals (like dms-5) test, some things which you say yes/no etc to needs context, which is why after those test it's kinda important to have a talk about what you answered to, otherwise it might come off wrong.

Yes!! and when we did the dsm tests everytime I tried to give context she just kinda talked over me and kept moving forward 
I felt REALLY rushed, I had an hour slot and she had me out of there in 40 mins

yeah it takes time, the thing is it's super important with context... I understand that she wants to finish the tests but like the next appointment should def be to explain the context. Not only important for right diagnosis but also for therapist to get to know you & your potentional struggles.

yeah, it's not that I'm unwilling to take meds or accept such a harsh diagnosis
but the way she went about it makes me feel like she isnt committed to getting it right, and I can't go thru all that
