Or maybe you just need to settle down and investigate both disorders indepth. If you are Bipolar and taking your medication, you well see a change in your mood and behavior. If medication has little or no affect on your mood/behavior then you probably need to investigate another route or at least be willing to consider that you have a combination of both . .. although as a person in the mental health field, I think we are too willing to give people the "biological" diagnosis rather than the social/behavioral diagnosis. We don't want to make anyone RESPONSIBLE for their own behavior. And before you think I'm biased, know that I KNOW that I am BPD, learned and tutored at the feet of my abusers and family. I know that I am responsible for making changes. No medication is going to make a big difference for me

Bipolar is a BIOLOGICAL DISORDER. Behavioral Personality Disorder (BPD) is a social/behavioral problem. It is something that we learned from our parents and/or significant others. There is some research that is linked to trauma and parental heriatity, but none of it is conclusive.

I sure hope you're able to find what you need. Go on a search. Read and learn. Ask questions. Don't have a closed mind. Don't put the blame on others. Seek out how you had a part in things . . . I'm not saying that any of us are the reason we are who we are . . . but if we continue to act or react in the same way, then we ARE responsible and can consider changes!
