I've asked about peoples' experience of this on this forum before, because I find it intriguing (and actually pretty confusing to me): as BPD is characterized by (amongst other things) rapid changes in mood, how do you distinguish between a BPD reactive mood and a bipolar mood, when you're cycling so rapidly (especially 24 hrs)?
.From PC:
Emotional instability due to significant reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or
anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)
So in this context, how do you distinguish between BPD depression and irritability and Bipolar depression and irritability?
Sorry about the inquisitiveness, I'm always trying to understand this, and the people who know best are those who experience it. Thanks.
