Hi, omo28, and welcome to PC. blueoctober and Ryask give some great advice. One of the things that is most difficult is to focus less on the diagnosis and focus more on finding the right treatment. Whether it's BP, anxiety, ADD, etc., treatment addresses symptoms, and many disorders have similar symptoms. Another thing is that you could easily have more than one disorder; I'm diagnosed BP II and also generalized anxiety disorder, but it still comes down to treating the symptoms.

Hope that helps, and glad you found us; I think you will find that you get a lot of support and understanding here.
