Whoa...wait a minute. I was diagnosed with BPD when I was in my 20's by a psychologist who, I believe, had major countertransference issues with me. I didn't think his diagnosis was correct at the time, but I was too shy to contest it.
His diagnosis caused me years of problems with...well, being misdiagnosed.
When I was dx'ed with bipolar disorder by a competent psychiatrist, and prescribed the correct medications, I became stable. I don't have BPD and I never did.
Okay, so that's about me. But in certain ways BPD and BD can look similar to someone who has not observed you over a period of time, especially to someone who isn't adept at diagnosing, for whatever reason.
Who initially diagnosed you, and who has just given you the new diagnosis?
