I was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder for many years. About seven years ago life went haywire...I became severely anxious and had what my then-pdoc referred to as "dysphoric mania." Life became a hell for me. Each year, especially during the darker months, I seemed to acquire new aspects of my disorder. Delusions, agitation/anxiety that made me feel like I would implode. So intense that I felt physically unwell from it. I began to feel and believe that I was dying. Then paranoia. And so on.
My current pdoc, I've been seeing her for about three years. She tells me that while my initial dx was BP2, that I go into the BP1 territory at times. I tend to have a lot of mania; it's just not always a euphoric mania, but is often dysphoric. Or mixed states with some delusional symptoms.
Actually, we haven't discussed my diagnosis in a could of months. I intend to ask her some questions about it when I see her this Thursday.
