If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? Sometimes pdocs wont want to diagnose id you are young bc your aymptoms might change.

i started showing signs of mood swings at 14. My pdoc felt i was too young to be labeled. i was only diagnosed bp after inpatient stay when I was 17... And that was well, you show abc signs of bpd... Minuse the anger, so lets say your bp and try this med. but my pdoc still wouldn't talk about it after and after trying a couple more meds I got frustrated and decided talk therapy for a while instead.

The thing is bpd and bp are treated differently medication wise I believe... So I always wondered if I was bpd instead since mood stabilizers didn't work for me.

You are definitely not alone, I understand your frustrations.. Good luck and hopefully you find some answers.
