Do you know what is Borderline Personality Disorder and Bipolar Disorder is?

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is defined within psychiatry and related psychological fields as a disorder characterized primarily by emotional dysregulation, extreme "black and white" thinking, or "splitting" (believing that something is one of only two possible things, and ignoring any possible "in-betweens"), and turbulent relationships. It can also be described by mental health professionals as a serious mental illness characterized by pervasive instability in mood, interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behavior, and a disturbance in the individual's sense of self.

The disturbances suffered by those with borderline personality disorder have a wide-ranging and pervasive negative impact on many or all of the psychosocial facets of life -- including employability and relationships in work, home and social settings. Furthermore, BPDs may be marginalized by society due to their moods and behaviors.


Bipolar Disorder, now less commonly known as manic-depression, is a diagnosis in psychiatry referring to mania (or hypomania or mixed states) alternating with clinical depression (or depressed or euthymic mood) over a significant period of time. A person with bipolar disorder tends to experience more extreme states of mood than others, which can change quickly or last for months. Mood patterns of this nature are associated with distress and disruption, and a relatively high risk of suicide. There have also been links to high functioning, notably regarding hypomania ('below mania') and creativity, high productivity, and self-expression. Source(s): Wikipedia

I am extremely familar with Biopolar, but not so much with BPD. What in specifc are your questions about it?
don't know about the borderline personality thing but i am bipolar...and my moods can change within 5 minutes....sometimes it takes something to set me off...sometimes not...you feel very alone and very out of control...no medication i have found helps either...i am trying to fight it on my own...not easy
yes I am diagnosed with both- in basic talk- BPD is when you were traumatized by someone/ something as a child- Bi-Polar is when you have manic/mania spells-- I am currently talking Limictal (mood stabilizer) Klonapin (sleeping.anxiety) and Celexia (depression)

there is lots of info on the web.. I did lots of reading-- also I see a therapist 2 times a month-- it really helps!

good luck.
Well the two are totally different. What type of info are you interested in? I could write a novel, so ask a specific question and i'd be happy to answer!
