Hello Woolly Bugger,

Yeah, I can totally relate - there are heaps of descritiptions on the internet on the differences between BP1 and BP2.

I was first diagnosed BP2 and then "upgraded" to BP1 in July 2014 (diagnosis changed to BP1 October 2014).

Mixed episodes are nasty aren't they! Yuck I hate them!

Now I might be wrong.

Doesn't a mixed episode only happen in BP1 or have I lost the plot? I have been known to lose the plot frequently So don't take too much of what I say to heart.

Hmmm funny how our psychiatrists don't always tell us what they think.

When I was getting a referral from my pdoc to my new T I saw on the referral form one of my dx was OCD and I was like "Huh"? Would have been nice if my pdoc could have told me that too!

P.S.: I love this forum too
