Highly irritated. I already know I'm bipolar. However, my psychiatrist felt it necessary to send me to a psychologist who is known as a specialist in bipolar and personality disorders. The shrink felt like I may have BPD and some "sociopathic traits", but not a sociopath. Makes no damn sense to me. But, I need MD to keep writing my stimulant meds, so off I go.

After about 3 months of therapy, the psycologist drops his diagnoses; BPD, NPD, and traits of antisocial disorder. Uh. Don't think so.

First off, I live in f##king suburbia with a husband, 2 kids, 2 dogs, and 2 SUVs. I work on in the medical field full time. I function fine.

I am cold. I am manipulative. I am calculating. I can't empathize. But neither do I think I'm the s$!t. I am not dramatic, like BPDers. Opposite of emotional. I don't switch moods like underwear.

Is it even possible to be both BPD and NPD? Frankly, I don't think I fit in any particular PD. I can see parts of me in most of them; but not to the exclusion of the rest.

Thoughts?
