I know that there have been threads on this and I'm really sorry about this but it's kind of confusing me. I understand that it's a spectrum disorder and that the mood of the indvidiual doesn't necessarily have to fit into the categories of the DSM religiously. However I'm confused as I've been put under 'probable bipolar' from bipolar 2 as while I do have moodswings where my whole energy increases or decreases and I get depressed and emotionless, to really hyper, to somewhere inbetween, I don't do half as much of the reckless behaviour as associated with this disorder (normally I just don't sleep, constantly exercise and study because I don't like people). However now it's probable because while I do have moodswings, I keep getting - some consistant, some not - delusional ideas. I don't doubt the Bipolar, I think the only think that stops me doing something really stupid in the middle of being up or down is that I'm at uni, I love it, and it gives me structure. But can it be BP2 if I've been having delusions from extreme, to less extreme severity since January?

They started in December but I was really up then. It was February it turned into complete confusion, panicking, paranoia where my psych was really worried I would do something dangerous to myself, then I just felt nothing/had little energy or motivation for months, but now I'm feeling more energised just moodwise a bit unstable between feeling panicky as I have so much work to do, to feeling great because I'll get everything done but it's not as bad as before. I've never had an episode to the extent I needed hospital, however apparently in February I really worried my pdoc to the point where she called some other pdoc's to my house incase I harmed myself. I'm really sorry for this trainwreck of a post, but not enough to delete it. I'm not on meds just now, I was supposed to start (50mg Seroqeul) but I talked with my pdoc and because my mood had seemed more stable I wanted to get my coursework done first.
