I'm BP and have BPD. I honestly find a hard time telling the difference. I actually didn't even know I had BPD until I got my medical records a few years ago. My pdoc just failed to mention it. Nice. When I found out I was appalled! I really didn't know what it was until I looked it up. And yea, the shoe fits... Unfortunately. I find that when I'm not on meds or I'm self medicating that I make more irrational decisions and when I'm hypo and OCD I obsess over abandonment issues or being hurt. However when I am stable, my BPD symptoms are easier to put to the side. But yes the two are often mistaken for the other and if you're concerned you have BPD then bring it up to your pdoc or T before jumping to conclusions!
