> what makes you think I have bp2 over bp1? and what is the difference? bear in mind i don't have swings
There are some people who experience chronic hypomania. The difference between the manic episodes of bipolar I and bipolar II are largely a matter of degree of severity. Bipolar II is characterized by the less severe hypomania. I may have assumed too much about the severity of your mania. You don't seem to be delusional or psychotic, and you function well enough to have insight into your illness. I might be wrong, of course.
