Some questions...

[alinabean]

I've never been diagnosed with BPD, but I was reading up on it today, and I think I may have it... I have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but I think that borderline may fit better...

Anyway, does anyone know of a good online test or something to see if I might have it or if I'm completely off-base? .

Yes, I know seeing my psychiatrist is the best option, however I do not really like her... unfortunately, I'm on welfare and that's all I can afford. I don't trust her, but that's another story. .

Anyway! Going a bit off topic (that's what I get for being up at 3 in the morning, I suppose), so back to it. Haha.

To restate in case you're as ADD as I am, how can I know if I have BPD, and is there a good online test of some sort that I can take to give me some sort of indicator?

There are an abundance of "online tests" that can point you in some sort of direction, but I would not put much stock in them. There is a test that you can take at your therapist that is a personality inventory and takes about 1-1 1/2 hours to take. This test is what they used to correctly diagnose me. It will also help in determining your state within other aspects of your lifestyle. I hope you get some sort of an answer from your psychiatrist.

Speaking as one who might have ADD, thanks for being so organized and clarifying that point ...

I agree there are different professional tests you can take. There are some online too but I also agree not to base anything on those. Can you get another opinion/psychiatrist, even if you are on assistance?

Another resource is the library, there are a lot of books out there these days on BPD.
