I am wondering if I may be borderline instead of bipolar II....could be both who knows? Here are the cirteria I met in the DSM:
1. frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment
2. identity disturbance: markedly and presistently unstable self image or sense of self
3. ipulisvity in at least two areas that are potentially self damaging (mine are spending and reckless driving)
4. affective instability due to marked reactivity of mood (irritability and anxiety usually lastin ga few hours and only rearely more than a few days)
5. Chronic feelings of emptiness
6. Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulity controlling anger
You have to meet 5 of the 9 criteria listed in the DSM. I meet 6!
I get very angry a lot. Sometimes I go into blind rages and wreck everything. I cannot control my emotions hardly at all.
So, what do you guys think? How do I bring it up to my pdoc?
