If you really want, you could continue to ask him why he believes those things, but you'll probably be wasting your breath. He'll probably give you similar answers, and I don't think you'll ever be satisfied.

I'm sorry he's been acting this way, though. I'm not sure if there's any way to make him change his mind overnight. He doesn't have a mental illness like BP which is uncontrollable, so he doesn't know what it's like. He also doesn't know how well mental illnesses like BP can be controlled with medication and therapy.
Chances are he will change his mind completely a few times overnight. Admitting it might be harder. But eventually, sure, most probably.

Edit:
Sadly, random generators are sometimes more reliable than we (borderline).

But underneath that there is (most likely) something very reliable.

It makes me wonder at the beauty of borderline personalities, but it also makes me sad and confused. It can't really be explained. Or rather, I can't explain. He's being an idiot and knows it. Ignore him.
