Hey,

So I had another psychiatrist appointment today. Previously I was diagnosed with BP2, but ended up needing a reassessment because of stuff that happened a little while ago.

The appointment went well, even though I was really nervous, and what they came up with was both interesting and expected... sorta. The plan is for them to talk to another Dr who specializes in BP, but the difficulty is that he might not agree with their diagnosis.

The list they gave me was bipolar (but in a weird way that makes BP the closest mood disorder), ADD, and a personality disorder.

ADD was expected as one of their theories because I have an unspecified Learning Disability too.

The BP I knew, and I knew it was abnormal because of excessive rapid cycling.

The Personality Disorder is what confused me a bit. The stuff that happened to me were more dissociations rather than any of the personality disorders I've read around.

Can I get some advice on this, or a bit of an explanation. I'm not sure if I misled them, or what. I always get really confused at stuff like this... :/
