I just really need to rant. I went IP last week and stayed for 5 days. The pdoc there changed all of my meds because he felt mine were redundant and I was on too many. He has me fill out a mood disorders screen (I answered yes to every single question) and talked to me about Borderline personality disorder. I got no therapy while IP and had small chats with pdoc twice. I told him that borderline and bipolar both fit me and he said the only way to know for sure if I’m bipolar is to go off my meds in about 6 months and see if I get manic. On my discharge paperwork it said that my diagnosis was depression? I’m so annoyed by that. I feel like nobody is taking me seriously because I’m not as ill as some other people with these disorders. I went IP because I was rapid cycling, how does that equal depression? And when I answered positive to the screen and all of the symptoms of borderline match my life, why won’t they give me the diagnosis so I can be treated appropriately? I’ve been back home for a day and a half and I’m already all stressed out and I haven’t even returned to work yet. Ugh.
