The cat is out of the bag... but it just got heavier.

I told my sister (the first person I told inmy family) about my bipolar disorder type 2.

Here is what she said:

She asked whether I saw a psychiatrist or not.
I said yes,
And she said that perhaps the psychiatrists saw what they knew only. Perhaps there is something more to it. Something psychological like high potential intelligent (a type of hypersensitive personality). And perfectionnism. And the moment you were not perfect your mood went down. (And yet, I'm unhealthily a perfectionnist). So she said I'm having acute anxiety with perfectionnism.

She said it might be borderline personality disorder.
The experiences she gave is that there were people she read about who were diagnosed bipolar for years but turned out to have borderline personality.
Another who was diagnosed as well and after talk therapy they discovered he was not...etc.
Ps: I didn't tell her I'm taking any meds so she was expressing herself freely.

She is asking me to rethink the diagnosis.

I think she is right.

But it was not what I expected.

I'm not ready to challenge everything I struggled to accept the past 09 months.
I am accepting I'm about to be depressed and I'm getting ready for that. But now... I'm not ready to get through that emotional wringer anymore.
