I think I may be BPD possibly Bipolar and undoubtedly have depression issues. I am going to an intake interview for dialectic behavioral therapy today. I currently take Fluoxetine and Lamotrigine. My IMO incompetent psychologist and IMO incompetent psychiatrist have not diagnosed or at least given me a diagnosis.
Anyway I hope to participate here and hope to find or provide something helpful.
