Clarification: When you wrote "BPD" I thought you were talking borderline personality disorder then I thought "Well, she could be talking Bipolar Disorder". My comments were about Bipolar but it's all in the same ballpark. I mean it's good to check a list of symptoms and get in with a decent Dr. My understanding is one of the main differentiations between BPD and BP is self-destructive/self-defeating behavior. There are studies out there that show lots of similarities between the two disorders. Best of luck.
