hi all,
I get so confused as to what I have. in the hospital it stated bpd and severe depression. there was a question of bipolar or bpd. even with the follow up with my psychiatrist he asked about if I was dx with bipolar. so of course I am beginning to wonder. I realize we shouldn't be defined our diagnosis but I worry that my recovery plan will be effected. I am on lamictal 100 2x day, wellbutrin 300 every day and celex 20 every nite. along with my Xanax 1 mg at nite and 1/2 mg as needed. plus I psycho therapy every week and see my psychiatrist every month for medication evaluation. so is my recovery the same? my rapid mood swings from wanting my life over to feeling positive about my future within days if not hours. on my good days, I am louder, friendlier, and feel like everyone likes me and I feel fulfilled. on my bad days I am paranoid, feel inadequate, suicidal thoughts as a form of escaping so I never feel trapped.
