Bi Polar 2 is a minor, yet very apparent version of regular Bipolar..it occurs less frequently. but can be triggreed by noises, transitions between the end of a (movie for instance) activity and the "what should I be doing, where should I be??" thoughts of confusuion, being overwhelmed and makling every siomple decision into a majopr one. Minor forms odf claustrophobia creep in and become more apparent, to the point where sitting in the middle seat of an airplane, otr in a dark room or theatre is terifying. Time seems to stand still and every decision or action is on stage and a major consequence.
Seroquel helped me. Better sleep helps too.
