Bipolar II

Look up the difference btwn bipolar I and bipolar II.
Only a realitivly small percent of bipolars have psychoic features like thinking they are God or the Devil or a prophet. And most often those who do are Bipolar I.

I am bipolar II with rapid cycling. I am as you describe...severe lows, but not severe manias. when i go manic, mine are typically hypomanias (a milder level of mania).

Why are you so against believing the diagnosis?
