I agree with wild coyote. In my opinion (I’ve been here five years) this forum has never been strictly a bp 1 forum. There are a LOT of members with bp 2.

I also think that the diagnosis is so fluid that there’s no point in splitting it up. I personally was dx’ed bp 2 at first. Then a hospital dr dx’ed me bp 1 due to mixed episodes. Now that mixed episodes are part of bp 2 as well (according to the new DSM), my new pdoc thinks more bp 2 because I don’t do reckless things when hypomanic and therefore probably don’t really get fully manic. So which subforum should I post in?

If posts won’t be moved all over the place then maybe I can support it, but if the mods are going to have to move posts about hypomania over to the bp 2 forum and vice versa, then I don’t support the idea.
