I make so many threads here I'm sorry you guys just understand a lot more that RL people.

Basically my symptoms have been: racing thoughts, gratuitous thoughs, loads of creative and business type ideas, lots of energy with spurts of hyperactivity (I can just keep going and going and going), poor apetite and poor disturbed sleeping pattern.
Yet I also feel low in my mood, I keep bursting into tears and keep thinking I want to go to my room and hide because everything is so overwhelming.
I have been a bit confused too and some paranoid hallucinations.
I am still managing to function but I am struggling.

I am diagnosed bipolar with traits of BPD.
I feel both manic and depressed yet on the outside it could look like like it's a bpd unstable mood. There have been some really stressful things going on at home so this could be ther trigger for the manic/depressive episode I'm currently having or it could be that I'm feeling like this because my BPD side is being reactive.

I have never felt both high and low like this before, so I don't know if it is bipolar or bpd? Does anyone know more/have any advice?

I am going to call my CPN tomorrow so my team will know I just want to know what to expect. X
