Bipolar Disorder

I recently gained about 50 lbs from Pregablin and I struggle with an eating disorder so it’s been really triggering for my recovery. I also gained almost 100lbs being put on Olanzapine when my doctor thought I had **Bipolar**(I do not, and the diagnosis was removed years later), but that was absolutely horrible. I still can’t get the recent weight gain off even though I stopped the Pregablin. It also doesn’t help that I have POTS and have to increase my salt intake 😣

Struggling with Misdiagnosis and Identity Crisis

One of the suggestions given when suspecting having BPD is to look up the diagnosis criteria for it and if you relate to a certain amount, talk to someone about it. This could be a parent, doctor or therapist and see about getting a diagnosis to get help with it. It's also mentioned that **BPD** can be incredibly hard to diagnose even for professionals as the symptoms overlap with many other conditions. It's often a long process and requires the professional to know the person over time to make an accurate diagnosis.
