they can exist together though, BPD and DID (like in my case) with other variations of dissociation.
I believe thats exactly what I said in my post above, only in different words. (that they are different, giving what my location calls each, and that they can happen together and that here where I am, when this happens its called dual diagnosis (having more than one diagnosis)
