I have read a lot of descriptions on the Internet, but I still can't figure out if I'm Bipolar 1 or Bipolar 2. I've had plenty of extended manic and mixed episodes and done some really bizarre stuff. I've been paranoid recently, but, as far as I know, I've never experienced a true psychotic experience. My psychiatrist has never told me what he thinks, believe it or not, and I'm going to ask him at our next session. Before then, however, I'd like to form my own opinion of what I am.
With that in mind, if anyone would like to offer some ideas on the differences between BP1 and BP2, I'd love to hear them. Thanks very much.
P.S. If I had to guess, I would say that I am a BP2 with a stronger than average manic component, if such a thing exists.
P.P.S. I really love this forum.
