Im unsure if I picked the right one. Its definitely bipolar I can't recall which one it was either type 1 or 2. the worst one is basically what I got told. I get high episodes and grandiose but lately I'm good. Just wanting to be better if that makes sense.

Bipolar 2 disorder

Based on what my psych told me, with bipolar, you'll experience either mania or hypomania once a year. Whereas with something like BPD, you have small spouts of mania. "The worst one" sounds very broad. It's possible that they're referring to Bipolar 1 since usually, during mania, you're recommended to be hospitalized.

"Bipolar Type 1 has mania while type 2 has hypomania (which are less severe episodes of mania). You can only have psychosis through bipolar 1. For bipolar 1 you have to have at least 1 episode of mania. Mania lasts at least 1 week (bipolar 1) while hypomania lasts at least 4 days (bipolar 2). If you experience high episodes and grandiosity, it could be indicative of Bipolar Type 1."
