i was dx with bpd/eid for 4 years...i got sick of it as i was and still am sure i have bipolar... i ended up going to a provate psych to look at stuff for me. he agreed that i don't have bpd, his reasoning was that i haven't been helped by cbt, the stepps course (a group therapy for bpd), my depression wasn't being treated with anti-depressants but actually making me worse by sending me manic and my mood swings were far too long lasting...oh and i ended up having post natal psychosis after having my lg..which 1 in 3 women with bi polar get. so i have been diagnosed with bi polar.
the problem with the bpd/eid label is that it comes with the stigma of being manipulative...you go to a&e with a bpd diagnosis you are brushed aside for being an attention seeker...you get referred to the crisis team...they come over to see you and literally just say "due to your diagnosis there is nothing we can do......goodbye"

made me cross...
