I've never gone to IP and I've been Dx'ed with BP 1

I get psychosis, but rarely do I get delusional. Mostly, I just get auditory hallucinations with very few visual hallucinations mixed in. Even then, the hallucinations aren't that bad. For example, 2 weeks ago I was mixed and hallucinating that I kept hearing an iPhone ringing for 40 minutes straight. Then I was hearing random beep patterns. Pretty harmless.

Since I was getting hallucinations, it was technically psychosis (which is a BP 1 symptom), but since the psychosis was very mild, I didn't need to go to IP.

So, I think I'm on the "mild" end of BP 1. Symptom wise, I would argue I'm somewhere between BP 1 and BP 2.

I hope that helps
