If its triggered by something and or someone (usually bf / daughter) AND I can "snap out if it" with the right maneuver... Example, depression/rage caused by relationship stuff but fixed with a bunch of roses =BPD


If its random, has more than 3 symptoms, is unchangeable regardless of my tactics, and affects my energy... BP.


That's basically how I tell the 2 apart...


Doesn't help when the 1 feeds the other though, but it does help me manage.
