I'm adhd and bp2 and while I can tell some of my symptoms apart a bunch of them seem so similar (reading texts and comprehending nothing for weeks, executive function issues, racing thoughts, emotional outbursts) I'm constantly trying to pry them apart to know which one I'm experiencing.

And now adhd seems to be going more the executive function disorder route so when I read through /r/adhd I wonder if a lot of the people I'm reading about are bp or if I'm not even bp2 but I'm just adhd. I guess in the end it doesn't matter if I find a way to manage the symptoms instead of focusing on labeling them.

I'm glad for posts like this because I had the same issue where I refused to believe my dx because my bp mom is far more serious and media/tv portray it so far from what I have, what seems to be a fairly mild case. It wasn't until I started reading bp-in-tech/etc stories on here where I realized the spectrum range is so broad.
