alright so..in one of my classes the teacher was talking about bipolar disorder, and it sounded kinda like me. i dont wanna jump to conclusions bc lets be honest, shes a teacher not a doctor. i have panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, ocd, and trichotillomania (hair pulling) ugh so idk if all this added up is equal to some bipolar symtums? i have no idea. i also am a recovering SI and junkie to tell you the truth. so can someone who had bpd or knows about it to tell me some main symtums? or just tell me if all my other problems mixed could mirror the symtums? idk no one will prob read this lol. anyways pce.

No, it's a little bit more complicated than that.  Every disorder is going to sound like symptoms you have, but it doesn't mean you have it.  I've taken several psychology courses and read through the mental illnesses, never once did I think I was showing symptoms of bipolar disorder.  And if you think being happy one minute and angry the next constitutes as bipolar disorder then you'd be wrong. Don't worry.  A lot of people hold that misconception, though.

And the abbreviation for bipolar disorder is BP, not BPD.  BPD is borderline personality disorder.
