Just found out I might really have bipolar 2 instead of severe depression

...See more I have an assessment with a PHP on the 20th. I had a good conversation with my best friend after I made the appointment and they were very empathetic and frank with me about symptoms of bipolar 2. I was diagnosed with severe depression when I was a young teenager and I have been treated for it ever since. I think I struggle a lot to verbalize my emotions, my feelings, my internal experiences, etc, which might explain why this went unknown for so long if I do turn out to have bipolar 2. I'm feeling... Strange. Definitely not angry at any provider from my past because, again, I am really bad at verbalizing such internal experiences. I feel almost a bit sad that, if this is the case for me, I didn't get help quickly because I didn't convey my experiences accurately. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I'm not sure what I'm feeling, especially because I won't know until the 20th.
