Hypomania? Help

Help, feel like I'm losing it.

Hello, I have been going to therapy for a few months now and they are trying to diagnose me either Bipolar or Borderline Personality Disorder. They are leaning BPD because they say I do not have enough symptoms of mania & do not fit the criteria of bipolar. I have explained that I do feel as though I have symptoms of hypomania. I.e; increased sense of self worth, euphoric high feeling, decreased need for sleep or rather I feel tired but can not fall asleep/stay asleep, promiscuity/inappropriate sexual behavior, impulsivity, intense energy, racing thoughts/easily distracted.

But I keep feeling like that's not right and my symptoms are real and I don't really fit the proper criteria for BPD. Like if anything, Manic Depressive.. I'm not trying to self diagnose, it's just like they're trying to twist what my symptoms are to make them fit the criteria for what they want me to be if that makes sense.

Thanks for any help/feedback provided.
