You know I totally value your opinion ~Christina cause I think you know me even better than Matt! lol Hes super smart and knows me way better than my Pdoc (I've only seen him a few times...in depression and hypo.) I spent $300 in one week when I was hypo at the beginning of this month. My pdoc/psyd office are still using DSM-IV. Matt said hes going to talk to pdoc about my dx anyway. Can't psyd dx too? I thought so anyway.

Matt said he probably has M/D NOS because the jury is still out for pdoc on what my dx really is. I understand Pdoc's perspective is medical to just treat symptoms but you know it drives me crazy when they don't align. I know I have BPD symptoms... but I still argue I don't have the D/O and Matt says so too!

I wondered where my paranoia fits in...I tend to notice it happens before or during hypomania. I didn't have it until this past fall and a few times since then! (You know my history!) Ive told you my mania stories and theyre totally wacked! ha! Most of the time when Im super up..I don't really remember much. Its all blurry (happen to anyone else??)

Thanks for you replies, all! Im trying to be a better person. Ya know..neurotypical (or TP, ~Christina!)
