I've been reading about BPD and it makes sense. I was diagnosed with ultradian cycling bipolar 2 disorder by a psychiatrist in Vermont after two 15 minute sessions, and just given borderline personality disorder by a psychiatrist that specifically does intake evaluations and diagnoses that last about an hour and a half in New Hampshire. I feel this current evaluation was more thorough than the one that led to my first bipolar diagnosis, but I'm confused now. How am I supposed to know who is right? I've tried a few bipolar medications and they just made things worse for the most part.
I looked at the list of BPD symptoms and they kinda seem the same as bipolar to me. Impulsivity? Mood swings? Suicide? Unstable relationships? Anger outbursts? I feel like those would be common in both.
