Hey fools!

I'm new to this subreddit but am no novice to BPD. I noticed severe changes a little over two years ago and was officially diagnosed at an IOP last summer. That was in Portland, OR. I moved back home (different state, different city) about a year ago. I recently sought out psychological treatment as well as psychiatric treatment (seeing as my shifts in mood are getting more frequent and more traumatic). The psychiatrist prescribed me Olanzapine (aka Zyprexa) at a small, daily dose. (2.5mg for 1-3 days, then increase to 5mg until I see her next...in about 2 weeks). She didn't make an official diagnosis, but BPD wasn't even talked about. Bipolar was. I know the rules on this sub...I'm not asking for any of you guys to confirm my BPD diagnosis...I know I have it. I've been officially diagnosed. However, my question is...has anyone stumbled upon this issue in the psychiatric/psychological realm? I feel like BPD is still widely unrecognized and commonly those symptoms that we all experience will be shrugged off as (rapid cycling) bipolar disorder or something else more common. I probably should have brought this up with her at the time...but I didn't want to feel like I was feeding her answers. I wanted her to come to the conclusion on her own. My other question is about the medication she prescribed. Has anyone taken this for BPD? It's typically used as an "as-needed" drug for intense psychosis/hallucinations. However, when taken at smaller and more frequent doses, it's a good solution for the manic rage portion of bipolar disorder. And I know I experience that. But in a BPD sense. I also know it's not uncommon to develop bipolar after living with BPD and vice versa. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not negating her thought that I have bipolar. I just think - if I do - it's alongside BPD. I've done some research on BPD and Olanzapine. I've seen mostly positive feedback, however, I'd really like some personal accounts from people I can trust (aka anyone on this forum). Thanks and sorry for the long post.
