Supanova- that's really interesting!

I think I might have some paranoia from being stalked.
I don't really have any of the other stuff, though.. I did have one anger outburst that scared me into going to the doctor.

I can see how BP and BPD might be mixed up. A lot of the major symptoms are similar. What got me diagnosed specifically, though, was sometimes having faster than usual thoughts, more energy and talking more than usual, on top of having been depressed. My psych completely brushed off my anger outburst as a matter of fact...said he did not take that into account.

I'm diagnosed rapid cycling but I don't know what he based that on, maybe because I was depressed for nearly a year and then had just a few days of being angry/irritable/faster thoughts/agitated.

Can you tell why I get confused? :P Anyway, thanks for your input!
