I was on Wellbutrin and abilify for a couple years about 6 years ago. My doctor at the time was treating anxiety and depression. I found these meds to be super helpful and for various reasons I went off them and was pretty manageable for about 6 years. Right now I'm not as horrifically depressed as I once was, but I have been feeling that I would benefit from meds again. 


Until last week I never had a formal BPD diagnosis. I asked my current therapist for one bc I'd eventually like to try DBT but they often require a diagnosis. He obliged. My BPD is also fairly well managed. I have a good amount of self awareness and I work very hard, but I still have obsessive thoughts and have had a couple outbursts/depressive episodes about my FP (a new-ish friend). 


I'm in a stable long term relationship (5 years, including 2 years cohabitating), and I can hold full time work. My social skills are definitely passable and overall people would not suspect I have BPD unless they get to know me. 


I'm seeing a new psychiatrist in about an hour and I'm going to ask for the same meds I was on before. How honest should I be about my BPD? I'm worried about not being believed, or being over pathlogized, and my biggest fear is involuntary hospitalization (I was hospitalized once years ago before I was medicated). Should I even bring it up for clarity or just for the sake of ease should I just talk about anxiety and depression generally since it's not a lie necessarily that meds treat those things in me.
