This is my feeling as well...

I have to admit the first episode I felt more social, bought a car, and ipad and iphone and that's about it---they said hypomanic to me so I'm not getting how they get bipolar 1 from that , it may be why its still a rule out----I don't think anyone has said I fit into any kind of mold as far as stereotypes---they tend to specifically say that I don't.

Maybe it's a US thing? But here we would put '?BP2 - rule out', not BP1 because they saw a possible hypomania, not a possible mania. And you can get psychosis in bp2, but that would only be during severe depression, as psychosis & high mood/irritability would automatically be called mania not hypomania.

Oh ok, I thought you meant as in a physical thing was preferable, when I always got the impression that you didn't care about whether the cause was mental or physical. I know a lot of people would prefer to have a physical illness than MI, that's why I was trying to understand.

That's why I need better protection.

One of my 11yo sister's friends is minuscule, like the tiniest person I've ever seen without dwarfism, but she's a black belt & would majorly kick your arse if you messed with her. I've seen her take on much bigger, stronger sparring partners and come out winning. It's not about size so much, but strategy & speed. Might be worth a try anyway?
