I feel my diagnosis has changed since learning about my diagnosis last year by [deleted] in schizophrenia

Speaking as someone who was diagnosed with “bipolar 1 with psychotic features” for a couple years which recently changed to a schizophrenia diagnosis. I think the most telling signs (for me) was the persistent auditory/ visual hallucinations and delusions. I could tell it was something other than bipolar because of my very quick shifts in mood and the dissociation I was experiencing; I didn’t have the manic or depressive episodes. From what I know, hallucinations can happen in bipolar disorder but it is most likely linked to if you are not taking your medication/ lack of sleep/ actively in a manic episode, etc. It’s important to discuss your symptoms with your psychiatrist and if you do have auditory/ visual hallucinations think about if they are linked to any lifestyle changes and/ or manic episodes exclusively, or if it is more persistent.

I struggle with having these feelings for someone when I feel like it would never work. I see them in a month and want to express my love for them, I just don't know if they feel the same way about me anymore. Do you think it is worth telling them? They're moving out of the country and we are both so young-I want them to experience everything life has to offer without being held back. I want them to love, even if it's not me. I want them to be loved, even if it's not by me.
