I have found out that I am not bipolar, and because of this I am giving up on the goal.
They diagnosed me with borderline personality disorder, it’s very commonly misdiagnosed, and probably the illness some of you have on here.
I thought I was doing so good just on medication(I slipped again), but I’ve had to stop just relying on it(you can’t really treat BPD with meds, just with counseling) and go more into therapy. I’ve noticed a big difference already.
I used to go into rages(along with sobbing and anxiety at the same time), thinking it was a manic episode. But I can’t make myself even get angry over the things I did before because of counseling.
Even though I am still on medication for other illnesses(Lamictal, Wellbutrin SR, Effexor XR, and sometimes Adderall XR), I’ve been doing good.
