When your official diagnosis is bipolar 2 with psychotic features but your therapist and psychiatrist (who both are allowed to speak with one another about you) use the words mania now instead of hypomania....

Are they changing my diagnosis without telling me. I'm not really like concerned but more curious at the change in language. I'm still young I suppose, and my psychotic symptoms didn't start until I was 22 so is it possible I just didn't have the full blown version yet or... i don't really understand how this works.

My therapist says that I experience something different than bipolar type 2 but my psychiatrist has never said this in so many words just, "are your symptoms more manic-y?" A mistake or a slip of the tongue?

lol I'm reading way too much into this. Procrastinating doing more school work... I did almost finish two essays soooo I can't say I didn't do something..even if it was begrudgingly.

So psychiatrist says I need to increase my dose up on my AP to 300 and he wants an email tomorrow for if I sleep tonight. I hope I do man because he said if not we'll have to talk about other options or something along those lines... what does that mean? like medication options or dude your cray go to a hospital options...
