I'm not sure whether to raise my hand...
I was dx'd 2 for a number of years, then they changed it to 1.

All flavors here. As zijax points out, it's a spectrum disorder. Not only that, but that different docs can dx even the same case differently. Lol, honestly, if there were such a thing as BP 1.5, that is probably where they'd put me(!) I relate heavily to the far greater proportion of depression of 2, but have had what I guess they considered psychotic symptoms, and maybe thought some other stuff was more extreme than 2 warranted. I'm not even totally sure. Point is, it can be messy. I need the input of both 2s and 1s, because I relate to both.

We're all in this together. We've got more in common than separates us.
