For a few reasons, being self aware of what is going on and how to not trigger those things and how to help yourself is necessary you educate and understand the nature of your illness. Anyway, keep fighting for yourself and find a doctor that will openly talk with you about what he thinks is going on and explain why....in my opinion when something is true all of the sudden the pieces will fit together like a puzzle and the whole picture will become clear...you will have an ahh haa moment Good luck !
I also am confused between Bipolar or BPD ! My mom in law thinks my thyroid is messed up & mentioned Bipolar to me....the Psy evaluated me with Post Tramatic stress syndrome.
So, I am very confused!..
