I just met with my pdoc today and asked him about this. When I was diagnosed I had went into a psychosis so it was pretty clear. Anyway, I was curious on his take. For me he said that bc I respond to mood stabilizers so well, that that is a sure sign its bp and not bpd. But I also have ptsd and sometimes I get triggered, but it's usually over some specific trauma I've experienced.

I think it's good you're trying to educate ppl, but I've found some ppl just want to be bp or sz even if they have very clear symptoms of bpd or histrionic personality disorder. I've given up trying to understand it, lol. I honestly don't understand why anyone would WANT to be bp or sz. I don't get it....

Thanks for the info though.
