I would take away the crushing depression. I wouldn't want to get rid of sadness all together, because if there were no lows, the highs wouldn't be as good. I'm talking about the kind of depression that makes me want to throw myself under a bus. Why would I eliminate it? Because it's probably not advisable to jump in front of a bus. It might damage the bus. Plus the husband couldn't pay the rent on his own. :P

Loneliness and boredom would be next on the list. I can haz less of dees pleese?

I'm bipolar 2 as well, and I am mainly depressive, but I had fantastic highs. I thought I could get straight As in college, that I could ace vet school even when I was afraid of blood/surgery/etc. I thought I could win a marathon, and almost bought a $800 road bike to do it, when I'm afraid of riding bikes. I felt Amazing, with a capitol A and thought there was nothing I couldn't do. I could literally rule the world.

I miss that feeling. Though I would want a more rational version now. There were so many things I thought I would be amazing at and then thought I was a failure later because I wasn't. I had truly major highs without the true manic part. I had crazy hypomanias.
