Haha yes chasms I did think I was okay.

Sorry to hear your bipolar is mixed state or depressed. Mixed states are uncomfortable. Yes, BPD mood swings deal with external things, that is my understanding too chasms. My Bipolar is mostly just swinging because although there is a pattern of extreme stress being able to enduce an episode but that I can only track back to when I used to have longer episodes of BP. Well apparantly I am an ultra rapid cycler my pdoc said. I've been dx BP for a while now but they keep changing their minds about this BP upgrade. I was originally BP2. Then BP1. Then BP1 with Psychosis. Then BP with BPD. Then rapid cycling with BPD. Yes go figure all that.

Wiretwister I need patience probably with Lamatrogine because I've had to start all over from scratch - 25mg p/d increasing 25mg/week so maybe I will just see. It does work quite effectively between 200-300mg for me.
