Have any of you experienced mental health professionals consistently trying to arrive at a diagnosis of bipolar disorder (despite having an official dx of bpd on file) because they feel that borderline is too “”problematic”” of a diagnosis. Multiple doctors have done this to me and I find it very invalidating and upsetting. I’ve had doctors who after reading thru my files completely ignore the BPD and go straight to asking me if i’ve “ever been diagnosed with bipolar ?” I tell them that I was misdiagnosed with it in the past but have now received an official dx as borderline, to which they usually look at me with an expression of concern, pity, or confusion or even worse try to explain my mood swings with my eating disorder. I really hate this. I’ve never been manic before yet I meet almost all criteria for BPD so I don’t know why they are so insistent that I have bipolar.
