There is a correlation between bp & irritability, rage, screaming, crying fits, violence. 15% Sui rate in bp is violence toward self.

I'm tired of all the talk like bp is so innocent and they must be borderline pd. I get rage big time during hypo, During pms, during my period. I have some bpd traits. I also have long periods of stability.

I'm not trying to be rude but I really am tired of seeing ppl come to bp forum for support with their rage & irritability issues and being dismissed as borderline. Both disorders can have major irritability & rage problems. . I'm not trying to be an expert, just a woman trying to find her way through potentially both dx's.

That said, nothing excuses violence... We just have to try to own it and do better. Or they lock us up.
