Well, since you've asked for our opinions, I'll give mine.


Lord only knows why because you'll probably just attack me too...


In my experience, type 2.


It's my dx and my experiences are much like yours. I stay up until the sun rises, or for days on end, my current record being 5.

I hallucinate while hypo and depressed, which includes seeing, feeling, hearing and even smelling shyt that ain't there.....Yes I'm sure I was nowhere near any decaying bodies.


I experience extended periods of psychosis, when depressed, and while severely hypo I thought I was Odin's daughter for 2 weeks.


So no, I don't fit all neatly into a BP2 box either, its a spectrum and does look more like BP 1.5 at times, but I've never been full blown manic, or needed hospitalization for mania.



There are certainly levels of severity, even in BP2, my hypo for one, it doesn't always stay euphoric and elated for long. Sometimes I end up behaving like someone experiencing dysphoric mania after a few days, but because its not crippling or classic, I remain BP2.


Besides, TREATMENT IS THE SAME, so distinction is really only for reference sake. You don't get secret special hardcore drugs for BP1.


Here's a tip, attacking people for disagreeing with you is the exact opposite method of making friends and or gaining support.


A blog might be more suited to your online needs, instead of wasting people's time and effort. They could've been replying to a poster who actually wanted and welcomed their replies.


Why am I bothering to reply knowing you don't want my response?


Well just maybe common sense isn't as uncommon as it seems to be and you'll give some merit to the fact that the majority of us agree with the professionals.


Don't worry though, if you are determined to avoid logic, and choose to remain close minded and belligerent, I will not be one of those posters who attempt to force reason upon you.


Go well.
