I've been diagnosed only with bipolar 2. My T picked up on my Avoidant traits (as I would never have brought it up myself) but the pdoc I went to was well.... an idiot.... and I hadn't known it was on the table. He asked the most basic questions so I gave him the most basic answers - which were all based upon behaviours which I've changed a lot. So he didn't hear a word about what I think, feel or believe. So no actual diagnosis, but my T thinks I do and that's what we work on at my appointments. I don't really need help managing my bipolar symptoms.
