hi everyone. i hope i’m not removed for not being a diagnosed individual, but my therapist thinks i might be, and i have a appointment next month to find out. but i had a question, and figured others here could help.

it is suspected i have bipolar 2. i relate to a lot of what ive been researching but the whole sleep issues to me. obviously i know symptoms might look differently in everyone but im telling myself i couldnt possibly have it because of this. 

my suspected manic &amp; depressed episodes i dont have the same sleep issues other people have? but ive also never had a stable sleep “schedule”. some nights im up and dont sleep at all or an hour, some times im exhausted and sleep 16 hrs straight and still have to drag my self up. but for example, my nights of sleeplessness dont always line up with the “mania” episodes like other people. often when im really depressed thats actually when i get zero sleep. and when im having the possible manic episodes i might sleep all day but still have all the other mania symptoms. 

so im not sure really, was wondering if anyone could tell me if this not like bipolar. i never suspected i could have had it until my old therapist brought it up over a month ago, but i didnt think they were helping and stopped going, now reflecting back im not sure.
