I'd practically convinced myself I was based on self-diagnosis, dangerous XD, so when I posted earlier that was still there, and now I've had more time to think, I agree with the doctor. This is the best course of action. The chances aren't eliminated that I have Bipolar, but I don't feel that they are very high anymore.

Thankyou, yet again  |
Hi there, I was dx BPD at 21 and dx Bipolar II 2007. I was 34.
The point is I don't really care.......I take my lithium and see my shrinks and it helps. Dx can be good from a treatment perspective......but not the be all, end all. Mentally ill is mentally ill, no matter what you have been dx with.....its the correct healing that counts.
I was on Prozac when I was 18 and I found it to be good.......be honest with yourself and your doctors at all times. If it gets worse or you don't understand your symptoms......tell someone. It is the only way to stillness.
Good luck babe.........we are here with you
