Newly diagnosed
I have just been diagnosed with bpd but im pretty sure I have bipolar too. I was told I have bpd when I was a teen but not an official diagnosis and im now 28 (f) my psychiatrist encouraged me to get a second opinion if I felt like they haven't fully understood but he always encourages 2nd opinions regardless he was really great.
I'm curious are there any others here diagnosed with both? I've noticed bpd has improved a lot since im getting older and have done a lot of work on myself and becoming more mature in general which is why the bipolar episodes became a lot more clear to me especially since they were getting worse. I'm hoping after emdr they'll be even more clear. Any advice for getting a 2nd opinion about bipolar? I'm not disagreeing with the bpd diagnoses but I just feel that the picture is still incomplete for me. I have ptsd and awaiting an adhd assessment too.
