i have been diagnosed with BPD a few years ago when i first got sick. it was borderline personality disorder with Psychotic NOS and they didn’t care about my psychotic symptoms but all they cared about if i was having mood problems
You realize people with bipolar can also experience psychosis right? That diagnosis doesn’t clash with your experiences at all. And it’s pretty much the exact same treatment as for sz.
Not to mention all who have experienced psychosis are welcome here.

Whoops my bad. I thought BPD meant Bipolar Disorder. I should know better as Bipolar Depression is part of my Sza.
Bpd stands for borderline personality disorder.
