I have been here a bit. This is my first time actually posting. I was diagnosed 25 yrs ago with possible BPD. I was 19 and in the military as a cop. The dr told me you have possible Borderline personality disorder. I said how do I fix that. He and I quote said "Suck it up and deal with your personal problems!". So I being 19, new to the military, being scared of being kicked out cuz I had just tried to kill myself, and not really understanding; I did what I thought was sucking it up and dealing with it!!
My new recent psych says I have Axis I:bipolar disorder, mixed mania and ____ (something else discriptive of episodes), Axis II:rule out borderline personality disorder, Axis III:see list Axis IV:nothing, Axis V:my meds, strengths, and dosages. What does this really mean!??! I know the III, IV, and V. And I think he is saying he thinks I have bipolar with possible BPD. Which is totally different than last psychiatrist. Last one said maniac depression, anxiety, DMDD, and C-PTSD. So I am very confused now!!Is there really that much of a difference or should I be concerned with it??
