I've read that BPI's tend to have longer stable periods but of course more severe episodes, BPII's cycling more constantly and less severely. I don't know if it's true i can speak only for myself.

Personality disorders do cause much disturbance in ones life.
What you've read is not true. As far as I am aware, BP1 or BP2 do not cycle differently to each other (each person is different but true bipolar will have stable periods between episodes)
The difference is in hypomania vs mania and length and episodes of depression. There are less severe forms of BP but BP 2 is not necissarily less severe and does not cycle constantly.
There are less severe forms of bipolar (spectrum arguement) but still episode of depression and mania are not constantly ongoing throughout life.
