Borderline Personality or Bipolar??? Both can be abbreviated in the same way...

@HootyTheNightOwl Hmmm, they are alike, but not quite. BPD hasmood swings that lasts for hours, and it's main characteristic is the fear of abandonment. Bipolar mood swings last for days, even a week.
@Harper I have to admit that I know more about Bipolar than I know about Borderline Personality since I haven't studied the latter yet.

@HootyTheNightOwl that's completely understandable. Lots of people don't know what borderline is. Even the name is weird. Other key differences of Borderline people can exhibit extreme anger and violence towards a certain close family member or partner. Borderline is mostly connected to relationships. Hence, the abandonment issue. Although Bipolars do not want to be abandoned as well. I also believe that although BPD may be genetic and maybe connected to the brain, it mostly stems from childhood upbringing. While bipolar is definitely a neurological problem. In fact, borderline has no specific medicines prescribed yet. While bipolar have.
