You can have a # of conditons, including Borderline with Bipolar. But a qualified psychiatrist (not therapist) has to make the diag. It took a week of tests, along with interviews w/me & my husband (his feedback) with an MD, neurologist & a psychiatrist to get my full diag. I have seizures, OCD & bipolar. It is complicated. Sometimes, when in the depressive end of bipolar, we can think everyone hates us but it's not true. Go get evaluated & then get treatment. Talk therapy can help while you get used to whatever meds you & your doctor find work for you. It takes time for meds to work. 4-6 weeks is average. And not all meds work for all people, so you may have to try 5 or 6 before finding the right ones. Once you are stable, you will find that people tend to want to hang out with you more
