Maybe instead of a poll, it would be more informative (given what I previously wrote) to also state your exact diagnosis (of course only when you feel comfortable doing so) and either early or late onset (of mania or psychotic or severe depression), before or after age 15, respectively. Even some diagnostic history could be enlightening.
So BP-I, BP-II or SZA/BP with the specifier(s) and whether you have comorbid BPD.
I have been diagnosed with SZA/BP, no specifier. I was previously diagnosed with psychotic disorder NOS, specifier "with mood dysregulation". Onset (severe, bipolar-post-mania-like, depression) at 11, so early-onset. BPD personality.

Mania kills cells. Brain cells die. Memories become more reduced conceptually, making more efficient use of limited means. Memories shape our reality. Our memories are more or less split in two by abstractions, conceptual reductions. Mood states with memories, concepts, attached. Memories of pain and those of joy. It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
