OK so I've been diagnosed with BPD, bipolar, and most recently ADHD, But recently I've been questioning my bipolar diagnosis simply because now I realize that my anger isn't bipolar at all.. When I do get angry it's known exactly why I'm angry and not out of the blue like bipolar is. Sure I had a manic episode about 7 years ago, but now I understand that even neurotypicals can have a manic episode. Also, I don't believe my mood swings are bipolar. The only med I'm on is strattera which does help. Anyways, Has anyone experienced this? what helped you to get closure on this? what would you recommend that I do? Thanks in advance.

One of the replies suggests that "bipolar episodes last from 3-14 days; while borderline personality episodes rarely last more than 1-3 days; sometimes multiple times in a day". Another person shared their experience of being misdiagnosed with bipolar depression 2 in their late teens/early adulthood, but as they got older and did their own research, they talked with their psychiatrist and agreed it sounded more like BPD. They recommend doing your own research and trying to understand yourself better.
