I am having trouble understanding Dx: My pdoc says i am Borderline and BP2 (& PTSD). I dont know about Bi polar.... still.....Lately I seem to fit better under Borderline profile. It is important for me to know...
I asked again: she just says i have BOTH. How is she coming to that? I have been tracking my moods. I am way up: for a day or two: Way down for a day . Back up feeling GREAT terrific, then something stupid sets me off spiraling down. then until things are mended, i am feeling totally ******, and then, they get better again. What is that!!??
I asked her: Is this rapid cycling? ultra rapid? Her answer: You wouldnt be able to function if you had rapid cycling.

Is that true?

Regardless: I know i need to focus more now on therapy, DBT (i am starting it soon w/ new T).

Pdoc said : I feel like no one understands me. Lately I was shaken up by learning I need to TRUST myself (i dont i guess...) and that I need to STOP blaming others around me, and stop controlling them. To be accountable for my SELF. I am also a control freak, I tend to not trust others motives at times, I feel like no one listens to me at times. At home and at work. I know that soemtimes I am over reacting, passive/ aggressive too. What is the deal?

I have a long way to go..... Therefor: Understanding my Dx would help me.
