Bipolar Mom,
Thank you for your response. This is all new to me and it is so overwhelming. I am definitely going to talk with my psychiatrist in two weeks at my appointment and bring up Borderline Personality Disorder. I just was not convinced about BPII but after reading BPD I feel more comfortable with that and I can actually learn more about it. I think you are correct that BPD and BPII are very similar. In fact, I wonder if BPD might even be a subcategory of Bipolar Disorder. Who knows?! I know medicine is never 100% and research is always ongoing so maybe we'll know something in like 10 years, lol. Keep me posted if they switch your diagnosis, I'd like to know how you are getting along. What are you taking for the BP? Thank you, good luck, and God bless!
