From my understanding, BPD and Bipolar appear to be related closely on the outside and can sometimes get intertwined. When speaking with my doc, I mentioned issues I noticed in me and he said it may very well be.

I am glad you went to see the doc, but don't stress to much about the diagnosis for now. It is a new doc and they may still be trying to do an intake on you so they can get enough information to determine where to place you.

In your original post you mentioned a few other things going on so just give it a little bit of time. The doc doesnt want to just get a bit of information from you, jump to conclusions, only to have placed you into the wrong category.

Imagine it like a strange noise in the car. You know something is wrong, you might drive it around a little to determine what is wrong with it. If you cant figure it out, you may end up taking it to a mechanic. You KNOW something is wrong, but as of right now, its just a funny noise. It isnt specified whether its a loose shock, fan belt, or stuff in the trunk. It is unspecified. As we all know, sometimes it can take mechanics a few days or a few weeks to figure out the problem (think toyota). You try and fix the floor mats, only to realize that might not be the problem.

Give it time... Bring it up on your next visit and see where it goes. You might be surprised at the answer.

Take care and let us know how everything goes.
