Also, something to keep in mind is that BP and BPD can sometimes appear to be quite similar - but there are differences, which is why being dx'ed by a professional is so important.
I don't know. They could be wrong. I could have been playing up my symptoms. I haven't felt "manic" in so long I don't think I really deal with it anymore. From 2018-early 2019 I had a couple hypomanic episodes but nothing since. I've even missed meds and have been fine. It's highly likely I don't actually have this.
