Hey dshantel,

Your post reminds me alot of when I was younger. The combination of bipolar mood swings and a high degree of anxiety can mimic a personality disorder at times... that's my impression at least.

Anxiety can everything run together and seem overwhelming and the changes in mood and perception with bipolar can make it hard to solidify on an identity. Since i catastrophize a lot it can be a relief to realize that things are not necessarily the way I perceive them to be right now... that can also be a blessing at times.
