I sort of relate to where you're coming from, which is why I'm glad I have a Pdoc who can separate out the medication needing side of things, from the therapy/emotional needing side - if that makes sense. Like he knows what has to be treated with meds, and what can be treated or helped with talk therapy instead.

Do your possible Bipolar symptoms feel different to your Borderline/Attachment/Emotional type issues? The reason I ask is because, as I've explained to my Pdoc, I can tell the difference between my emotional issues, which feel more like part of the product of my psychological and sociological environment, and my psychotic type symptoms, which feel like they're coming from my a misfiring in my brain. There's a clear difference between the way I feel or perceive my symptoms when it comes to my diagnosis, so I was wondering if that was perhaps the same for you?
