She's diagnosing me with the disorder itself instead of just with traits. But yeah, I do agree that I'm still bipolar regardless of BPD or not, and that she just hasn't seen my hypomania. I don't self harm. I have done some forms of it in the past, but nothing that left scars. For instance, punching myself, slamming myself into things like walls, or clamping my hands with those bag clip things (?) and then tearing them off repeatedly. I don't know if that counts. Any other urges I've had I have been able to dismiss by rubbing ice cubes on my arms, for instance.
