Not a bore, interesting question! IMO, if that "one day" of hypomania, when charted over time, just happens randomly and doesn't show any kind of *cyclic pattern* or increasing frequency.. I think there are probably a lot of pdocs that might question a BPII diagnosis. Have you mood charted? Are there a relatively fixed number of days that you are down before the one day of hypomania kicks in again?
