I've been diagnosed with BP1 and BPD. They seem to correlate with each other. The reason for my diagnosis was because of my mania. When I was diagnosed, I had been going through that phase for about 2 months. It got more intense each time I went back to my therapist. They did initially tell me I was depressed and put me on Prozac which triggered the mania. I think they were just testing my mind to see if that would happen.
The BPD hurts me when I'm in mania more than the mania itself. I already have problems controlling myself add BPD into the picture and I'm this monster who doesn't care about anyone but myself. My "my live in the moment" mentality gets the better of me every single time.
