As far as being BP I or II: I still don't know if I have one or the other. I was initially diagnosed as II but in changing pdocs a couple times I found out that one of them had written down BP I. Yet, I would put myself in the BP II category since I don't suffer thru manic episodes but hypomanic ones. However, I once was severely paranoid, and officially one such episode is enough to 'qualify' for BP I. Oh well.
In effect it really doesn't matter. Every person with BP is unique in it's symptoms and each of us has to work with our pdocs and T's to find the best treatment that works for us, be it BP I or II.
I understand your bewilderment, though.
Do you have a pdoc and T? How are your relationships with them? Are they of any help to you? For me these people are the most important. Also, your pdoc can maybe shed some light on the recent circumstances for you.
Take care of yourself as best you can!!

Right now, I'm still trying to adjust to everything. I've had 2 breakdowns within months of each other due to personal circumstances I'm not ready to discuss, and I just don't have my mojo back. I don't feel like myself yet! But I'm getting there!
