A question is not an accusation.

People just throw those words around. I think in the past I have been guilty on calling the weather Bipolar. People that don't know much about the disorder think it's like split personality.

And schizo can be translated as anything. It could be slang for schizophrenic. I've also heard schizo or schizophrenic be described as multiple personalities. Even on my favourite show. People just don't know much about it.

These people are just having a go at you. Making fun, etc.

I thought I had bipolar yesterday, but I have since changed my mind.

Just because someone randomly says on a website you are bipolar (or whatever else), doesn't mean you are. No one has the right to diagnose you other than a trained medical professional (and even then, not online).
