axis 1 bipolar, axis 2 bpd -- my official, HOWEVER they didnt tell me that, i found out be asking for a copy of my psych report.
It is a hard diagnosis in many cases because as my psych said when we talked about it, i could be at the low spectrum of Bipolar2 and my BPD causes my hyper-happy over reactions when feeling hypomanic and causes my angry over reactions when im dysphoric, he actually said that one day its likely that there will be an official link to the two, with bpd as a --cyclothymic or dysphoric variant of bipolar or vice versa (oh god dont quote me on that, lol.. we talked alot and that was the general sense i got of it)
taking Divalproex now, and hoping to stick with it and see how it goes. He wanted to use only one med at a time to be sure that we were treating me and not side effects.
Seems that those two are very comorbid bipolar and bpd.. CANT be just a coincidence can it?
