I’m being re-evaluated because my bipolar 2 diagnosis is in question. Many of the current and former professionals in my life say absolutely. Many say absolutely not…it’s XYZ or ABC. According to my med provider, I don’t respond to medication like her other bipolar patients do. Results have been inconsistent. What does it matter right? A lot when you’ve heavily identified with a diagnosis for 20 plus years. Researched it. Managed it. Someone pulls a rug out from under you. You feel adrift.

There have been questions for several months and I’m just now addressing them. The treatments in some aspects are different for the various diagnoses brought up to me. It will take several weeks of my therapist assessing and discussing things with me but she said we’d nail it down.

I posted this in a private message and my friend (thank you) said it might be a good idea to post it on the forum and get some feedback on the topic.

Thank you.
