Just because your Doctor thinks it's mania and wants to turn to meds doesn't mean you have to agree to that. You have a right to advocate for yourself and if you believe something is being overlooked or not being treated accordingly, you have a right to share your concerns with your practitioners and ask them to explain to you why they believe it is related to the bi-polar and why it wouldn't be connected to the Borderline issue.

My thinking is it is probably related to both in some way or another. But you have a right to make choices and decisions regarding your care and treatment and if you don't agree with taking more or new meds then don't do it until they can tell you why.

Always remember, they work for you and you are on the board of directors when it comes to your treatment plan. Never give up that power without getting all the information you need and deserve.
