If so, how did you get diagnosed? (I've seen a large overlap in BP and BPD symptoms in particular.)

Me: So, I've technically had 3 full evals done on me: one at university and two in private practices. First one was done at school and they said "no" to bipolar disorder. Second and third were to confirm bipolar disorder and ADHD.

In all 3 of the evals, we didn't go over any tests that specifically went through every personality disorder. However, in my 2nd and 3rd evals, I did get high marks in the antisocial personality section (97th percentile) on a self report. I do suspect BPD, though... because when I'm stable, my emotions seem to get the best of me.

I'm also curious about how you got your Dx's so I can get mine official. I think it's hard to Dx a personality disorder when you have BP and you're not always stable. 😒

What about you?
