If you were to imagine the psychotic disorders as being on a spectrum, from BP-II bordering on unipolar depression to SZ, and were to compare it to the colour spectrum, from red, via orange, yellow, lime, green, turquoise/cyan, to blue, indigo and violet, purple, what colour would you be, would your BP (or SZA/BP) be?
SZ would be violet/purple. And yellow and lime separates BP-I and -II. Blue separates SZ and BP-I (SZA/BP).
You may combine colours, making your colour brighter (or more pink/magenta), if it depends (maybe aided by meds) and/or you are (somewhat) unsure.
I'd say I am a rather light turquoise.
Edit:
If you don't meet "clinical significance" for all symptoms (BP-II primarily for the depression symptoms, the rest primarily mania/psychotic symptoms) or you are unsure whether you have them, you might go for a darker colour.

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.
