Bugger

It feels SO MUCH BETTER to be this way, though, where I actually have motivation and enthusiasm - and I mean, I'm talking about stuff that's normal for most people, like having the energy to do everyday stuff. I guess it's not so much the stuff I'm doing that's making me uneasy but the sudden swooping shift into 'good' territory, with this really odd mix of fearlessness and edginess skulking at the sideline.

The bipolar I've seen up close has been more extreme, with full blown mania, paranoia and almost psychosis, so compared to that it's nothing...

Before we fell out last week, my biological mother sent me an article about bipolar, saying 'I know you're not, but you have a lot of similarities with this person'. I don't want her to be right

I definitely have borderline traits, as agreed by a couple of healthcare professionals, but not enough for a diagnosis. Can bpd give a bit of mania here or there, does anyone know?
