I'm not bipolar but I do have moodswing all of the time. One minute I am happy and the next minute I am sad. I'm tired of it. I take 100 mg of Pristiq and 80 mg of Geodon. I don't know what to do about my moodswing.

Could it be a hormonal thing?

Borderline is real tricky to diagnose.....but could be. Geeez there are so many things it could be really. Situtational, life events, hormones....I hope it passes. Maybe talk to the doc and get a med tweak?? ox

I would suggest reading more about Borderline Personality Disorder, and having a frank discussion with your doc.

In the meantime, I find exercise and meditation very helpful. As well as staying away from negative situations and people.

How do you know you are not BP?

Have you considered that some of it could be due to your hormones? My moods are connected to my hormones as to whether I am manicy, more toward depressed andor all mixed up with intrusive thoughts.

My pdoc told me I just have depression. I thought about bipolar for a while but I don't have manic phases. I only have moodswings that goes up and down.
