2 years ago I was diagnosed with bipolar II. The difference between bipolar II and bipolar I is the manic phase. Bipolar II's manic phase is mild compared to bipolar I. Many times bipolar II is diagnosed as just depression because the manic phase is low. I also suffered from extreme codependency.
I was first diagnosed with depression 18 years ago. I was suffering from chronic back pain all the doctors could only offer exercise and rest to alleviate the pain. After a couple years of following the unsuccessful plan I fell into the black hole, because of not only the doctor's lousy plans, but also because my lifestyle had changed from being active to non active and my husband was not empathetic.
I needed help and found a therapist.
