I was diagnosed in 2007 with bipolar II.  Not sure I believe the whole bipolar thing but it sure gives someone a good excuse to find that you are just not fit for "prime time".

 First welcome. Now for questions. Why do you not feel the diagnosis was right? Its not a one sized fits all desease, everyone on here has different issues with different symptons.

   I for one was intinally diagnosed with BP 2 also. Then with more work and exploration over 4 years i feel i fit more the bipolar 1 diagnosis. Why? Cause i suffer way more issues with mania then depression.

   I for one have never been troubled with drugs or alchol. But sex, money, anger have been issues i have dealt with.

  Tell us more, maybe we can help.

Mr. B,

I just wanted 2 welcome you 2 Healingwell. I was diagnosed Bipolar 2 a year ago. I was first diagnosed BPD. Months of weekly Psych appointments, intensive outpatient, & now DBT. I was struggling with coming 2 terms with the Bipolar 2 diagnosis. A years worth of different medications & trying 2 get what will help seemed forever, however, finally my Psych was able 2 find the right combination of meds...And I can definitely tell that @ this point & time my meds R working for me.
l have accepted my diagnosis, as now I know that if my Bipolar Medication is working then obviously I was diagnosed correctly otherwise the medication would not be helping.

R you seeing a Doctor on a regular basis or on meds for Bipolar 2? I wish you all the best & keep coming here 2 the Healingwell site :)
