I'm glad you found a pdoc who listens to you, that's gold. But I tend to be leery of pdocs who diagnose so quickly. I think you have a lot going on, it's complicated, and in an ideal world, a pdoc would hold off for a while, until getting to know you over time, before making a diagnosis. I'm not saying I think you're not BP, just that I hope for once a pdoc will take time to get to know you before jumping the gun.
I got so depressed once my inner self-hating thoughts sounded like real people talking to me
I don't mean to minimize how horrific this must have been, just thinking about *what* it was about. It's possible that your self-loathing was so intense that this is how you experienced it. I just wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it was an episode of psychosis -maybe so, maybe not. But one thing is for sure, and that is no medication is going to stop you from hating yourself; this is why I so hope you get some good therapy, individual (which it seems you already have) and DBT.
I hope things continue to look up.
