get tested if it brings you comfort of course, but also please know many autism and bpd symptoms overlap in women!! i was told i had bipolar II for YEARS until i went to a therapist who told me it was likely autism. got assessed, and she was right!!

don’t be scared (ik that’s easier said than done I’m sorry), getting diagnosed doesn’t change anything it just gives you more info about yourself so you know how to take care of yourself 🤍

well i discontinued my bipolar meds two years ago and switched to atomoextine and haven’t experienced any bipolar symptoms since 😅 i even got reassessed for bipolar last year and they said i don’t meet the criteria!

woww thank you. if you dont mind, what made you not meet the criteria? i dont really know it myself but i get hypomanic less than often so maybe its not extremely bipolar i have no idea. i get depressive episodes more often. thank you for telling me tho I’ll mention this medicine to my psychiatrist ❤️
