I do have the dx of bipolar 1 (about 12 yrs. now after being misdiagnosed w/unipolar depression) & acute anxiety & ADD. But my therapist also has been exploring borderline--I have many of the symptoms, but asked her not to put that on the form due to the extreme stigma of borderline. Bipolar is bad enough as far as stigma. I do go to DBT that is primarily for borderline, but it is also useful for bipolar--a new book just out "The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Bipolar Disorder--Using DBT to Regain Control of Your Emotions & Your Life"
