BPDs can cycle much faster, can literally go through 4-5 intense emotions in the course of a few minutes while even rapidly cycling bipolar takes considerably more time. Also, bipolar can be "cured" by the proper meds. While meds can sometimes take the edge off for BPDs, it cannot solve the problem.
