I have BPD with some manic episodes, I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar for like 9 years before a new doctor diagnosed me with BPD. However, I can relate to this picture.
I've known both borderlines and bipolars. They get a bad rap for nothing. Both are very much treatable with therapy. They're both very difficult to experience.
My brother is one of my best friends and he's bipolar.
The manic parts would be mostly the same for you and a true Bipolar but the only big difference is they may be rapid cycle which it’s own shit of confusion.
