I feel like I'm just a lazy mean person who likes sleep and I occasionally hear things that aren't there. I don't know. I've never even been suicidal(my t called me homicidal when I saw her) because I was too selfish to want to inflict pain on myself. But recently I've thought about it a time or two. But not because I was depressed. Well maybe a little. Mainly because my husband and I were fighting and it all seemed never ending and hopeless and with everything he was saying I felt like I was nothing and didn't understand why I was born or continued living. But then I talked to my friend for a few days and my husband was nicer so I came back to reality.

I can really relate to this...
It sounds like BP2 to me. Personally, I dont get the elated feeling with my hypomania, I get extremely agitated, then depressed. I also was questioning my dx and just thinking that I was a mean bi**h (who also loves to sleep lol), until I read something on a BP blog on here about irritability.
BP2 is milder than BP1, at least mine is. I've also never been hospitalized or suicidal. I hope this helps. :-)
