Yeah, as with most of us, your case sounds complicated with many factors. I tend to keep things very practical. Let your care team figure out what's up - just be very honest with them about moods, thoughts, sleep cycles, self-medicating, and etc.
I found a great deal out from this book: Taking Charge of BiPolar Disorder. It may help you. Not sure about your Dx and BPD. I am no expert, but I did find value in reading DSM IV and DSM 5 - the actually manuals pdocs use to Dx conditions.
Best of luck,
