One of my problem is is I'm much more BPD-y in the winter vs the spring. It sort of happens in episodes. Last winter, for example, I'd fly into desperate rages where I'd threaten to kill myself after something as silly as losing a follower on a social media site, but come spring and I'm more mellow. It'll act up again, maybe within a month, because usually I'm not too happy in the summer. Would that be more bipolar since it's episodic? Or can BPD lessen in intensity every so often?
