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?

It sounds like you have more than illness. Have you ever heard of seasonal affective disorder?
The reactive BPD 'mood swings' are actually your emotions. Emotion dysregulation is a core trait of the disorder. Psychotherapy is much more effective for this than medication.
