Bipolar 2 Episode Signs

...See more Hey, guys! I'm new here and I found this online support group. I'm really excited to be here. I've been diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder for almost 10 years now. I never took the diagnosis seriously and didn't understand what it was. Started getting treatment for it about 4 months ago and became acutely aware of every pattern in my life that led to hypomanic and depressive episodes. My therapy session is a ways out and I have barely touched on my bipolar with them. I needed a place to go where I could get additional support and treatment. I was wondering if anyone with bipolar 2 can identify the signs of their episodes before they are in one. Even though I am able to recognize my episodes in the past I have trouble dictating the warning signs of when they are coming up. Sometimes I even struggle to identify whether or not the breakdown I had was a result of a conflict or if it was an episode. I feel really in the dark about this bipolar diagnosis. I don't see an upside to having BPD but if I can identify the storm coming up maybe I can take some preventative measures. Any advice would be appreciated!
