Long time no see, PsychCentral.

Anyway.

I have a new Pdoc in a new country. I've had what I'm sure are at least two hypomanic episodes in the last few months but the last few weeks have been a complete muddle of moods and suchlike. One of them was scarily definite and my Pdoc confirmed that it probably was that.

The appointment before last, my Pdoc told me it could be bipolar or cyclothymia.
But last time, she said it could be a byproduct of my anxiety disorders.

I really don't know. Between every patch of up comes the textbook depressive episodes, but over the past two weeks I've been constantly up and down and I'm almost tempted to suggest that it could be BPD rather than bipolar... if I wasn't so confused by the idea of it being part of my anxiety.

Another thought I had was that the last two weeks or so could have been a mixed episode, but if I was only hypomanic before that, it rules out both bipolar I and II.

Has anyone else had trouble with their diagnosis's like this? It can't be only me, I'm sure. :/

Thanks guys c:
