I don't know what type I am. I've been dxed by different doctors with different dxes. One Pdoc said that bp is a spectrum; not a definite; their are grays and whites and light grays. I'm rapid cycling but I don't know if it's 1 or 2...doesn't matter. We all have our battles with this disease. My friend who is a 2 struggles worse than my 1 friend bc her depression is so bad. One isn't worse than the other...we're just different colors and every experience is valid.
