Okay .In the corner where it says 'search' just type in BP1 or BP2.
There have been many discussions on this so you can see them.Just go for the discussion tab when you have pressed GO at the side.

My therapist says that I am a moderate form of BP1. What she means by this is that I am BP1, but I am likely to be set off as easily or as often as someone that has it more severely. Kinda the same way a cold is a milder form of the flu and the flu is milder than pnumonia. Sorry if that was a bad example, I tried.

I agree with Orb. But, why do you ask? Are you trying to measure/compare yourself to others?

I have been labelled so many different things and told I had so many different degrees of things I think the whole thing is poo. I'm mentally ill; I don't fit in! The doctors can build all the little boxes they want; I won't fit into them either!

just an FYI:

TO access google a great search engine just type...

www.google.com

it will take you to the site lickity split ;p

as for degrees... I think just the fact that no one person is on the same exact coctail of meds as the next shows just how different our BP is ;p

I hope you find peace today ;p

Hugs, Buggie

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
