First, sorry if this post doesn’t belong.

I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 about 6 years ago and while I believe that’s accurate, the more I research, the more I believe I also show a lot of symptoms of BPD that affect me more on a daily basis. 

I would like to start DBT while also searching for a mew psychiatrist (meds currently being managed by PCP) but do you need an official BPD diagnosis/referral to even get on a waiting list?
