Hey, y'all! I'm Tami. I'm undiagnosed, but I believe I have bipolar 2 disorder. There's a very strong family history of bipolar on one side of my family and all of the symptoms seem to fit. I remember being very depressed as early as 6. Throughout my life I've experienced severe depression with rare 'upswings' where I'd have lots of energy, stay up all night, have racing thoughts, and be able to communicate at the speed of light. It's nice to put a name to that. Now, thanks to hormonal therapy (for an unrelated issue) and holistic medicine, I'm not as depressed as often. Still, I'd like to learn more about others experiences with bp and bp2.
