I moved a few weeks ago and saw my new gp on thursday morning for the first time/ anyway, it went well. he seems really nice and was very understanding about everything and has referred me to CMHT in the area blah blah blah.

anyway, this is NOT his fault but has set me off on a downward spiral since thursday that i can't break.

apparantely, my old team have diagnosed me bipolar.

Am i? i can't agree with it! i dont want to agree with it. I always thought I was BPD and still do but bipolar? I was told at 20 i wasn't bipolar when i saw the crisis team nurse for all of 10 minutes having taken an overdose in Manchester. so why decide now that I am?

how do I know? how do i know whether the mood swings aren't just normal? That the bursts of energy and drastic shift in my sex drive weren't just because i was ok/ good and not ill anymore?

sure I feel restless today and cant sit still but I'm like this quite a lot of the time. My attention span is short. my head races so much when i try and sleep that it's sometimes impossible.

does that all mean I am bp? And that i should just accept it?
