I am really interested whether BP is ever linked to schizoid PD or to atypical depression.
I am also interested in whether people here diagnosed with BP relate to any of what I wrote.
And in any other thoughts that you or anyone else may think of beyond this standard question about a psychiatrist.

The reason I asked this question was because your comparing your symptoms of Schizoid PD to possible Bipolar symptoms .. I was not sure if you had
already been diagnosed Schiziod PD
"Typically" Bipolar follows as such . Baseline , funtioning well no major problems to More than a week of hypo/mania that can turn to mania for a week or more then depression/crash follows lasting weeks to months.
Its not common for Bipolar shifts to change in a day one way then flip back to anohter in a day or so... Unless its a " Mixed episode" and those are almost always pure hell on earth and most people run as quickly as possible to a Doctor.
Sorry if my question upset you in any way.
