I have been diagnosed with Bipolar and seem to cycle quickly between hypo manic and depressive states. I also feel that I have dissociated due to some incredible trauma I went through some years ago.
My question is how can one tell the difference between what may be an alter personality and a mood switch? I feel like such a mixed up mess right now!

BPD is so hard to deal with because it is so difficult to know what is a mood switch and what is just regular personality issues. I know that frustrating mixed up feeling. You get so mixed up that then you relaly can't tell which side is up or down! I would try keeping a journal of somesort to write down exactly what you are feeling. Then you can go back at a later date (maybe when you are feeling better) and maybe pinpoint changes in mood, etc. Hope this helps! Hang in there
