The psychosis and delusions are SOME of the things that differientiate BP I and II.
Why do you think you might be BP I?
It's possible that you are BP I and just haven't had a full blown manic episdode.
But whether you are type 1 or 2, you better get on a mood stabiliser. Once you start cycling, it gets worse with each cycle.

> I am bipolar II, so I think. I have never been told that by my pdoc, but from what I research I seem to fall into the bipolar II category. The symptoms between bipolar I and II are so similar that I cannot figure out which one I have. So I ask these quesitons. Can someone have bipolar I, but without any hallucinations or delusions? Is the euphoria more intense with Bipolar I? Would having violent thoughts and images characterize Bipolar I better than Bipolar II?
