From personal experience the BPD can really piggyback on the BP.
I hope all that made sense.

You're right about the gradual of the BP but I sometimes have no idea what triggers the BPD mood changes...just one minute I'm ok and then suddenly I just want to cry. Can be a breeze crossing my face, even an expression that I have that mimics one often used by my exbf (that's part of BPD as well, mirroring...its good when the relationship is strong but incredibly painful after it's over) that will send me into a tailspin.
The piggybacking is true too, in my experiance. All very frustrating and hurtful. Thank you for explaining it better than I could.
