A long time ago you mentioned one of the hospitalizations they changed your dx to Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type. I don't remember if it was before or after they tried to change your DX to Bipolar with Borderline. If your therapist is talking to your psychiatrist then they could have recently changed it or since your most resent hospitalization. Another option is because you are still seeing cats she changed your DX because you are no longer in a moodswing. Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type is bipolar with hallucinations or delusions outside mood swings. So it's one diagnosis. I think she probably looked through your history and changed your diagnosis recently and thought she had the conversation with you.

I would try not to stress about it I see Schizoaffective disorder, bipolar type as just on the more severe side of the bipolar spectrum.
