Sorry about that, I was angry when I replied, hence the sharp tongue. It wasn't addressed to you though, I just wanted to mention it.
In my case it probably began with depression&GAD, then most likely due to stress it turned into cyclothymia and finally into bipolar 2. I still haven't been told 'yes, you have it for sure', I'm going to therapy (it's almost redundant) in order to discover if this is what bothers me or something else and to fix my anxiety problems on the side. It's complicated, no certain diagnosis and no papers - not that papers are that important - still in progress.
In my opinion my initial cyclothymia diagnosis was correct and since now I'm doing a lot worse I can only assume bipolar 2 is exactly what bothers me. Maybe it has already turned into bipolar 1, but I can't afford another assumption since my highs were never out of control.
