Just an update on this. My New PDoc has confirmed my diagnosis of BPD & Depression. She does NOT think I'm bipolar.

Part of me is very happy because... with the BPD, hopefully one day (if I can get out of this depression) I will be able to come off meds and manage with therapy.

But is it weird that another part of me was thinking that if I had a Bipolar DX it would make some sense out of all my mood swings. Like it's not my fault... just a chemical in my brain making it all happen. I guess that's why I always 2nd guess the Bipolar Dx. I'm looking for something for a cause.

With BPD Dx it's basically all ME and my messed up thinking that's causing all my anguish! UGH! I'm in no way wishing I had the bipolar dx.... but I just don't understand how I'm doing this all to myself.

Anyways.... I just wanted to thank everyone here. This thread really helped me alot to understand what hypomania really is.

Be Well! ;-)))
