You say you don't agree with the diagnosis and can't think of any manic symptoms. If that's true then I wonder why you were diagnosed with bipolar 1? That sounds very strange. Is it possible that you have both, but don't recognize the manic symptoms? If you don't have manic symptoms then you're not bipolar. I hope you figure this out, and if you have BPD I hope you're prepared for some hard work!
Checking back in YEARS later, LOL!! It turned out that I actually had neither Bipolar or BPD. I was experiencing some manic type feelings, really happy and energetic simply compared to my tired and fatigued days. I had untreated Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease. Once on proper thyroid meds, which were natural dessicated due to me also discovering I have Celiac Disease and Dermatitis Herpetiformis, I felt a lot better. I ended up going off my continuous birth control that I was on for eight years straight for Endometriosis, all of these are autoimmune diseases. I started eating AIP elimination diet and found the foods that trigger inflammation for my body and was able to get off all medications! I still have anxiety and panic disorder but I am currently undergoing testing to see why I still have sleep issues. I am being worked up for Narcolepsy and for Nocturnal Seizures. Not entirely sure what the outcome will be but I have been doing much better!! I also did undergo some EMDR therapy for some insecurities and specific anxiety triggers, which helped tremendously and I encourage anyone with trauma, PTSD, or anxiety to get some EMDR therapy!! I hope you all are doing well since you last helped me with your time and thoughts. My sister actually ended up getting a diagnosis last year of both BPD and Bipolar II! Not surprising to me at all, now that I have a better grasp on things. My mother still has not seeked treatment and doesn't believe there is anything going on with her but I believe her and my sister are mirror images with their issues, lol. Thanks everyone!!
