Nandm--I too have thought maybe I was more PTSD than bipolar, but just like most mental health illnesses, I think we get a stereotype in our head of what a 'typical' person with that illness is like, and I don't feel I'm "like them". However, I have had things in my life that could potentially result in PTSD. However, treatment is basically the same as far as medication goes, so I'm not sure how much the diagnosis matters except the stigma that comes from our unfriendly society when it comes to mental health. I hope you the best with the specialist--I'd be interested in hearing how it goes!
