Bipolar or ADHD? Need advice for bad days

I was diagnosed bipolar recently by my pcp. I'm way overly self aware. I'm also a nurse (in some cases not very helpful to myself) I know the criteria for a bipolar diagnosis, I don't meet it. I have hyperfocused on all kinds of conditions trying to figure out what my doctors wouldn't for a long time. I now have an am Psychiatrist who, get this, listens 🤯 What my pcp saw as bpd was actually emotional disregulation. Her major depressive disorder is actually my executive disfunction and task paralysis. It's important to find some one who listens and can be reassuring that we are in fact not crazy! 🐝

You can try with mindfulness or meditation... I hope it works for you...♡

It's called manic depression. I have a sister that is type 2 bipolar and she's also Schizophrenia, and bpd. One minute she's fine and the next minute she's crying her eyes out and no one even knows what's wrong smh I just wish we all were healthy and pain free... but until then...

ADHD apparently causes emotional dysregulation, so your mood swings can get really intense. Therapy has helped me to deal with intense emotions better. I still have them, but I now know the bad feelings aren't going to kill me.

I experience this with hormonal changes due to pms

Playing with animals also help me

Im like that. I have adhd. Listening to music helps me
