I am not my psychiatric disorder

Rather the psychiatric diagnosis describes my mildly abnormal reaction to severe stress.

I do not know if it is borderline personality disorder with symptoms consistent with bipolar disorder, but the first only describes my personality when I am under stress while the latter refers to my mood in reaction to that stress.

The social behavior I exhibit when under stress only indicates maladaptation. It's similar to the misuse of tools for other tasks normally not associated with them.

Therefore I am not my psychiatric disorder. I only have both a personality disorder, BPD and a mood disorder, bipolar.
