I was diagnosed with BP 2 in April this year. I saw the psychiatrist in light of my depressive episodes getting worse and my psychologist strongly suggested I consider medication. 
During the appointment with the psychiatrist, he asked a bunch of questions (as expected) and at the end he said it sounds to him like BP 2. At the time I didn’t think it was true/accurate and I still don’t fully agree. Looking back I can recognize times where I may have presented some symptoms of hypomania, but not sure if there were necessarily enough at a time to be classified as a hypomanic episode. I also feel it’s never had a negative impact on my life. BP 2 feels like a stretch?

Any advice or someone with a similar experience? How did you accept that it was BP 2 and not just MDD?

I was prescribed Wellbutrin as a start and was recently put on lamictal as well. I felt like the Wellbutrin helped a lot with depression symptoms, but it doesn’t feel like the lamictal is useful in any way.
