But bi-polar disorder isn't the same as borderline personality disorder, is it??
I once was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, btw. It was very funny!
I went to see my doctor to complain about mood swings. It turned out later that those mood swings were caused by blood sugar issues, but at that time I didn't know about my blood sugar problems yet. Anyway, the doctor didn't think of blood sugar and sent me to a psychiatrist instead.
The consultation was very short. I explained my little problem to the psychiatrist, and he asked a couple questions. He asked if I have lots of sex, so I said "Hell yeah!" Then he asked if I'm good at managing money. I said "Hell no!". He asked if I tend to make great plans. I answered that my plans are always great!
So he made a very serious face and said I would have to get used to the idea that I am mentally ill, which is incurable. After that he prescribed me daily lithium intake for the rest of my life.
Don't worry, I never took any lithium. But I know which one of us is crazier.
