Nobody throughout my life has been willing to diagnose me. I’ve done tons of hours of research and I’ve felt that there’s a high chance I’m undiagnosed with bpd. I make an appointment with a new psychiatrist today, only an hour long session and she tells me I have bipolar with psychosis. I tell her I thought there was a chance I had a bpd, and she tells me that I don’t have bpd because people with bpd are too self absorbed and wouldn’t ask for help. I understand bpd is a complex illness but this sudden diagnosis threw me off. I just want mental peace to finally know what’s wrong with me and why I’ve felt this way I’m not saying her diagnosis is false but I’m wondering what differs between the two?
