Yes, I recently read about the commonalities that BP and Borderline Personality Disorder have. They have many. Dissociation and Depersonalization are some of them. I think I may have had some of this as an adolescent. I have seen tons of reputable Docs over the last 25 years and had tons of medications with very few periods of relief of agitation, depression, racing thoughts, etc. When I converse I have trouble putting my thoughts together and reading the other person at the same time. My mind starts to scatter and I lose my train of thought. Like I said Docs aren't moved when I describe these types of symptoms. My present Doc of 7 yrs is the best listener and conversationalist I've ever seen and he's sharp with a very good background so I feel stuck. My last Doc was horrible.

And it is frustrating because my parents/brothers can't grasp exactly what I go thru.
