I strongly feel that Bipolar 1 people have it over Bipolar 2 pp. They seem to take less meds and are still depressed but not as deep as Bipolar2 and rapid cyclers. I see pp going to college and getting their masters and being prrofessional pp (workers), authors etc etc, I wonder if they are Bipolar 1 not Bippolaar 2. What are your feelings. i a, not m,aking light of Bipolar 1s I just wonder if they are not more apable then Bipolar 2s????

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...
I personally do not feel anyone "has it over" the other though. It's all bad, ya know?
I do understand the need to know the differences just to be informed as a Beeper though. Just remember, none of us are better or worse, we're in this together and we each have our own unique experience.
Hey Lou, don't we all have our wires crossed?! LOL!
BUT, now I want to know why Auntfeather felt she "strongly" felt that BP1 isn't as bad as BP2? Auntfeather?? :)
Is this a contest? Just thought I'd roll those out there. :)
I wouldn't wish either one on anybody.
she is constantly telling me to slow down. or take a breath. I scare her when I think ghosts are in my house.
On the other hand, in my head, I refer her type 2 to down and downer.
They both have their own particular types of hell
All of this competition crap is bullshit.
But people need to understand that as severe as bp1 symptoms can be, bp2's can also be depressed longer and rapid cycle more. I am not trying to compare, just saying they are both REALLY FUCKING BAD and people should stop saying one is worse than the other.
This topic is also getting really old, BTW. I've seen it on the board like a gazillion times. Dead horse. Reincarnated and dead again. Halterbroke, what to do about all these dead horses?
