That's my dx too.....for the moment. I have the feeling it's going to be upgraded to at least a 2, because I'm still coming down off my first 'real' manic episode ever, and my pdoc has me coming in tomorrow for an urgent appointment. He told me a while back that he probably would change the dx if/when I had a new episode of any kind; well, I had to go and do a bang-up job of it. I've been hypomanic for weeks and tipped over into mania a little over a week ago, but I don't think that qualifies me for a BP 1 dx because I never lost contact with reality, didn't get delusional, didn't have hallucinations.
