I've been doing some research the last couple of days because my diagnosis of BP has seemed a little, well, ummmm, not quite on target.

Out of my extensive research and much thought and reflection...I believe myself to be misdiagnosed after all this time. I don't feel I've wasted my time here...in fact, the new diagnosis is not ALL that different than BP.

My couselor...who is not the same as my medication doctor...is very accommadating in that, she allows me to call her whenever I feel I need her. My research has led me to believe that my diagnonis is in fact, Borderline Personality Disorder. After spending a few minutes on the phone with her...she's felt this to be true for quite some time now, but left the diagnosis to the "experts". She was very pleased at my motivtion to research and question my symptoms, lack of feeling not quite diagnosed properly and will help to see if this is in fact true. While I do have my highs and lows...they are not of the same symptoms of BP, although very close. Not an uncommon mistake. I will find out later this week if my "hunch" is correct with the presence of my councelor to validate my behaviors, symptoms and her own suspicions of me displaying more appropriate symptions of Borderline Personality Disorder.
So, needless to say, I'm once again "back to the beginning".
At this point I intend to continue posting here in the BP forum as I have done extensive research and have had the belief for so long that I've been correctly diagnosed at Bipolar. I'll keep you updated as I find out what the "experts" have to say about this issue.
