I was just diagnosed Bipolar I. I was Bipolar NOS. I thought in reality I was Bipolar II. I spend allot of my time in depression. My mood can elevate some giving me problems from time to time. My pdoc says that if I just had one episode of mania, I qualify for BP I. When I think about it, I think I have had at least a one or two episodes in my life a very long time ago. Several years ago, I think I had another, but I am not sure.

My doctor who is very good left the public facility that I went to. He diagnosed me as BP NOS there. He has a home practice. So I located him and went on my first appointment at his house. He remembers most everything about me over 15 years. During our talk together, he suddenly said out of nowhere that I am BP I. How does he know this? He must of remember seeing an episode of mine that I was unaware of having. Is this possible?

Anyway, for some reason, I am losing weight again. I am 6’ 2” and now weigh 166. This scares me a bit. So I stopped exercising and I am eating 2500 calories a day which is difficulr for me to do. Before this I ate 2200 calories. Chocolate shakes can help. This means I have lost 70 pounds.
