(I still struggle with whether or not I have a true BPII diagnosis, as it still seems like more of a major depression to me. Either way, the treatment is the same.)

It's been a lifetime of severe physical illness and depression.

Similar to me. Major depression at 18. Bipolar 2 at 36. I skew way towards depression. Doctors have debated the BP because am so depressed. But I am doing much better on lithium so BP 2 it is.
