So was diagnosed with type 2 BPD at the beginning of this year and am now on meds that work like charm (depression and ideations are gone and hypomanic episodes are a lot milder). I feel kind of an imposter at times for having type 2 and not 1. My hypomanic episodes were such that I could go quite a long time with 2-3 hours of sleep and study ancient Greek and read books all through the night. I also spent quite an amount of money on books and guitars when hypomanic. The depression part was also really bad. Does these “symptoms” seem typical?
