    • About Me

      I a rapid cycling BiPolar 1 gal with a secondary diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder (Actually, my personalities crossed the border and multiplied; therefore I have DID/MPD. My partner, DS member, "tlv2cuddle2" brought this site to my attention. I've been a member of other BP forums, s this isn't new for me, but extremely helpful. You guys are awesome! I have some unresolved questions and experience s that I encourage anyone who has "outside looking in" insight or first hand similar experiences as I. I've never met anyone like me but know in this world can not be the only one like me. If I can attach a characteristics of how my disorders play out, I would say BIZARRE, seriously...like movie material. It's utterly frightening to me! (why am I crying?) Guess it's a leftover mood from yesterday. I have multiple personalities, sounds archaic, but it's so true. I suspected it, stared journaling and read back in a few days and wondered "who's been writing in my journal?" The handwritings are completely different and the the thought processes for each unknown handwriting had distinct personalities. Have talked to p*docs and they poo poo it of fas my mood swings and gave me the second diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder. But I swear to you my moods have truly become perfectly defined PEOPLE. My Partner, after a few weeks into the relationship confirmed what I had never told her. My GOD it was absolutely mortifying to hear her explain in great detail, who 'her visitor' was that night or day. There's 4 distinct characters and according her, 3 that just lurk. They have names. OMG, if she did not love me I would have been asked to loose her number and forget she ever existed. I told her about the bipolar disorder, she of course was unaware of what it was, despite my cursory explanation of it. It gave clarity to her of my "moodiness", "b*tchiness" My p*docs say there's no such thing as multiple personalities. Whoa, the stories I could tell you (though know of the events vicariously through my partners explanation of events). Can someone help me and my partner?, can someone out there share their experiences? Please subscribe to me, as now, unlike other forums, I won't be a lurker but an active participant. Add me to your subscribe list. Thx so much for listening. In advance thanks for any feedback.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I'm a rapid cycling Bipolar 1 woman, vibrant on alternate days, moody and easily irritated on other days. I'm so in tuned with this disorder and each day brings the uncertainty of how i'll feel. I truly hate being this way but i have no choice no matter how much I try.
