Do I have Bipolar 2? I"m not sure what is wrong with me. Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any thoughts.

I also have Bipolar 2. I do not have many manic episodes a year, maybe 2 or 3 and they are mild and can only last a day, maybe 2. I can tell I have them mostly because I run out and spend money or do things on the spur of the moment. I take Lamictal, Wellbutrin, Ambien and Klonopi. I also take a couple others. I also have more depression and anxiety than I do manic episodes, that is why I am bipolar 2 and not 1. Good luck in your fight, know that you are not alone!
