to find out what your own location goes by for whether BPD and dissociation are the same in your location you will need to contact your own treatment providers. they will explain the similarities and differences in the two disorders based on your locations present diagnostics and definitions.

i was not implying BPD and DID are the same. i am talking about the type of dissociation that exists in many people with BPD versus DID. they can look similar but are not.
the type of dissociation common in BPD can also cause gaps in memory for that period of time which is not the same as in DID where you may have an alter who takes up that time.
they can exist together though, BPD and DID (like in my case) with other variations of dissociation.
