Ive been reffered to councilling?
I would just tell your counselor your symptoms. That way he/she won't think that you are trying to self-diagnose yourself. Be sure to include the times when you feel good. It may be Bipolar with mixed episodes. Some symptoms of depression include irratibleness. Be sure to tell him/her your sleeping habits too. Borderline Personality Disorder does include fake suicide threats, but sometimes it may be pive death wishes(when you want to die, but you don't want to commit suicide). Sometimes when you can recognize your symptoms as symptoms it is easier for your counselor to diagnose you right. I would mention what you think it is and why but don't say that it is what you have that way you aren't self-diagnosing yourself and ask your counselor questions like why. It is your life and you have the right to know about your recovery. You may want to look up mental illness at this website below. I would look up bipolar and see if it sounds like you. NAMI is national osiation on mental illness and you can look up almost any disorder. Biploar is mood swings from feeling good to feeling bad. They usually take a month to a year for the change but can change rapidly.
