Hi! i wonder if anyone can help me. I have been treated for depression on and off for 12 years. In April i visted pdoc and he took me off antid and said he thought i had bipolar type 2, he told me to research it. My app is next week to see him again, but since then i have came across bpd so now i dont know what to think. So many of the syptoms i have experienced since i can remember, but just thought i was a bad person and didnt tell anyone, this is me;
no sense of self at all, who am i? what am i? what do i want? etc.. always questioning myself over every decision
way, way over sensitive, apologise for myself all the time, beat myself up all the time
analize peoples body language etc.. to see what they really think
no self esteem, im bad, no confidence, people only say nice things to be polite
no trust of people particularly myself
friends / partner is either with me or against me - our relationship is only as good as the last interaction
extremes of emotions nearly every day
drink, drugs, unsafe sex, excessive spending etc.. especially in the past
never been faithful
always have very intense relationships which develop really quickly
i used to manipulate people
ive only put a few things down, but i am so confused, i would appreciate any input anyone has thank you
