Thanks Skully. The dx of BP II came to her quite quickly - I arrived at her office saying that a year ago I had been dx'd Major Depressive Episode with Psychosis, but after a year still hadn't shaken the depression. And my moods were just too erratic; OK, to depressed, slightly over the top, then depressed again; and it was affecting my work and relationship.

Then she said it could well be BP II. At the time, my relationship was VERY stable, but in reality I have always had episodes of "Flying off the handle" and having real emotional outbursts. My friends are used to getting sms's in the middle of the night with me saying I Hate My BF, and the next day I love him again.
