I am sharing this post to show that Bipolar type 2 can have different presentations. Especially the hypomania. It is tricky to diagnose Bipolar type 2 and It’s hard to know what part of this is you being you and what part is extra. Ive had major depression and hypomania.
Here i will write down what my hypomania feels like so that anyone can relate.
- Sometime i feel like Im the greatest person that ever lived and sometimes I feel like I am the worst person on earth ( can happen in the same day).
- I engage in risky behaviors like staying up all night outside the house in my car. Giving rides to strangers.
- Engaging in bad habits that you don’t usually do. Like smoking cigarettes , weed, drinking , and driving recklessly.
- Wanting to connect with everyone, calling many people, wanting to meet them even at unsuitable times.
- Oversharing with others about yourself and your ideas.

When I get down bc if my chronic headaches and depression I read Christian devotionals, that helps. It reminds me that my pain is not all that's important in the big picture. HE reminds me that I AM NOT my illness, and to relax in His arms for however long it takes until I'm feeling like myself. I am in one of those times right now.
