Really confused
My GP mentioned to me last night about my treatment for Bipolar for which we have a family history. Until now I thought my issues were BPD. On a professional level I function really well but as soon as I leave to go home the black dog comes barking.

Re: Really confused
Hello @DoinOk
It seems like you are a bit confused about your diagnosis, is your doctor a GP or a Psychologist/Psychiatrist? You might want to think about getting a second opinion, as it is helpful for you to know more about your symptoms and working through triggers and coping strategies, it sounds like leaving to go home is one of those triggers?
That all sounds really hard as that is something that I am assuming happens quite often?

Hello @DoinOk
Yes sometimes a second opinion is helpful, but if there is some light in the end of the tunnel and you have made some big changes to work and medication, that is great. It isn't easy to make those big changes, so well done.
