I’ve been diagnosed as bipolar for a few years now. I took my meds like I was supposed to, but they never made me really feel significantly better. Since having a baby 4 months ago I’ve done some analyzing of my symptoms and feel like I’ve been misdiagnosed…

I feel like a lot of my symptoms directly align with BPD. But I also feel like I have some undiagnosed ADHD. On top of that the PPA I’ve been experiencing makes me feel like there’s some underlying OCD. 

I can’t get in with my psychiatrist until December, and I feel like I’m drowning. Even still, the last time I brought up the idea of the possibility of ADHD (way pre-pregnancy before I even thought of BPD) he kinda brushed me off and said that bipolar and ADHD have the same symptoms so the meds should work regardless. I don’t even know what to say to a psychiatrist to get the proper help. I’m absolutely miserable. The only thing that brings me true joy anymore is my daughter. I feel like my brain is broken beyond repair at this point.
