Hi i'm here because I've been d/xd with BPD which has mood swings like bipolar, but I feel like I might have that as well. Past psychologists who worked a lot with me were sure I was bipolar, but I feel like now they have d/xd me with BPD the psychiatrists (who are the diagonistitions even though they've worked with me less than the psychologist) are now washing their hands of me. Sometimes when I'm very up I seem hypermanic though, and I've had people who are bipolar say that to me and the psychologist has seen me up while the psuchiatrist has only heard it second hand. Plus I think the psychatrist takes what I'm saying with a grain of salt because of the whole BPD thing? But when I look back from my chat logs when I'm up they are basically indistinguishable because I'm talking so fast and making very little sense, and I'm basically not sleeping at that time, I feel very confident, I am very creative I can't sit still ect. The ups ususally are quite common and only last three four days rather than the longer time that is typical for bipolar but I know it can last longer and I took the bipolar quiz on here which scored me a 54. I'm not doubting I am BPD by the way, I was just looking for anyone who has been d/xed or someone who knows if they can both exist at once - or anything like that? Thanks in advance and sorry for spamming your group -
