I joined this forum yesterday after reading about Asperger's on here and seeing a post to which I wished to reply. I wrote a long, personal and heartfelt response to a poster and there was an immediate response by the moderator with his/her opinion and disagreement with me. I tried to explain my point and each time I said something there was a response by the moderator. It was very strange to me because this ...

Do you guys ever get this feeling when something or someone really irritates you? It's like my brain itches and the only way to scratch it is the destruction of the source of the irritation?

Mine are. And they would also try to ruin $#%^ for me too.

My diagnosis is Bipolar II with borderline features, but a recent event is making me wonder if I am full blown BPD. A friend came to visit, we had misguided sex, he rejected me and I freaked out. I took Ambien with alcohol and started threatening to overdose. I've done this once before and I really hate this behavior.

Any views on this?
