Whoa, first post in absolutely years.

But yeah, I'm a learning disability support worker/psychology graduate, my diagnosis flips from bipolar to BPD to depression/anxiety (depending on the psychiatrist), I have so many colleagues with moderate-severe mental health problems, it seems a lot of us flock to these sorts of jobs. Also my dad is a retired GP, who like me suffered with dissociations and anxiety.

BPD is not the same, but often seems to be diagnosed interchangeably with Bipolar II, but Marsha Linehan, the leading psychologist who developed Dialectical Behavioural Therapy had BPD and was initially diagnosed with schizophrenia.



Feel free to PM me any time; whether you want support or just a chat! x
