Over the past year I’ve had a really hard time with my mental health. Last November I was diagnosed with Bipolar II but today, after spending 6 weeks in a psychiatric program and then getting referred to a DBT intensive program, my new social worker told me that a lot of things I’ve said and done point to a strong Borderline diagnosis. 

I’m trying to process this. Two of my best friends and my ex are borderline and I’ve seen them struggle over the years. What will my life look like now? There’s been so much instability and now my original bipolar diagnosis, something I had finally come to terms with, is probably not accurate. 

Big oof for the day. Support welcome.
