Yeah, exactly, and I'm still kinda side eyeing my psych and bp diagnosis because of that. He's just...weird. I don't meet the hypo length of time required for a BP II diagnosis and definitely not BP I. I do wonder sometimes if I'm misdiagnosed but the option he offered to test that was to go off my meds and see what happens. I got withdrawal problems really bad and chickened out.

I wish I had more certainty but frankly I'm sick of worrying about it and that's why I just go with the NOS or consider myself having some BP "traits" that respond to a mood stabilizer.

Thanks again, very interesting and I hope maybe it will help someone here!
