Q: Borderline & narcisstic & bipolar ?
asked by: Phocks on February 2nd, 2009

Well....where to start????

September last year I fell into a major depression.

Since then I have been seeing a psychologist who initially had been treating me for a personality disorder. I have enough symptoms to be diagnosed with Bordeline Personality and Narcissistic Personality Disorders. Last week I was called in by my Psychologist who advised that she had reviewed my file with her mentor and they believe I may be suffering Bipolar. They believe that I am swinging between Bordeline and Narcissistic Personalities. Narcisstic being the Manic phase and Bordeline being the depressive phase.

Is there anyone out there like me???

I am so confused right now.

I feel so alone....

not alone
I myself have been told that I have Borderline Personality Dissorder, among other things...I have been in and out of therapy since I was 13(10 yrs) and have never been able to stick with it to see any results...at this point I feel very hopeless...I have only recently been told of the possibility of BPD, not officially diagnosed, and currently not seeking treatment...let me know how it works for you

Hey Miss.

I kinda had no choice but to seek treatment.

Last october I was admitted into hospital as I was suicidal. I was released after a week only to be chased down by police and escorted back as I was again suicidal.

I am pretty much destroying my life.

I have made so many bad decision and could never understand why. until my psychologist told me that it was impossible for me to be successful with what was going on in my head. Not to say that I cant be successful with the right treatment.

Who knows what will happen.

I am giving treatment a chance but to be honest if it looks like it is going nowhere....and it is starting to feel that way....then i fear I will just give up on everything....including life.

I have suffered with bpd all my life,also major deppression and a "mood disorder" I have been told I'm bipolar, bipolar2, not bipolar, have ptsd, I do know my life has been very difficult. Misdiagnoses is common, many med trials and errors common, hospital common. I have lost 2 marriages, and my children because of it. Try not to label yourself with any of this. You are a child of God and someday there will be peace from all this even if we don't ever find it here. Good luck
