After doing some reading about Bipolar 2 last night I can see why you would be so confused,wondering what your diagnosis is.I recognized some of the symptoms in myself and started wondering if maybe I have been misdiagnosed,maybe I am Bipolar and it's not really PTSD.I even got anxiety because I kind of got myself worked up over it.
I calmed down very quickly though.I trust that the psychologist I had therapy with for so long knew what he was doing.Plus I'm sure I could recognize myself in many different disorders if I researched them,but that doesn't mean my diagnosis is wrong.
Even though I caused myself anxiety at least I understand now why you struggle so much.And I hope you can stop researching different disorders and applying them to yourself and causing yourself so much confusion and problems.And I hope you can see that's what you're doing to yourself.Today it's Borderline,tomorrow it might be Bipolar or DID,you just keep seeing yourself in different disorders and running with them,like I did when I read about Bipolar 2.
I have read through many of your posts and you say so many different things but the main thing you talk about is what your dx is.Yet it seems you have never really had all these discussions with your treatment providers,according to your posts you have never talked to them and asked if you could possibly be DID or any other illness you have posted about,and that's what you need to be doing instead of just chasing your tail in circles like you are.
I do believe you want to get better but in order to do that you need to work with your treatment provider,you need to be talking with them about all the things you have been posting about.I have a feeling you haven't been doing that,not because you forget or are too shy or whatever but because you are choosing not to for whatever reason.If you really believe you are not being diagnosed correctly then it's up to you to make sure your treatment providers know everything you experience and struggle with.Posting about it all here isn't going to help you in real life.
I hope that doesn't offend you.I really do wish you the best.
