Diagnosing BPD is a tricky beast. I always say that if you went to 5 psychiatrists on the same day, you would get 5 different diagnosis. Additionally, is not uncommon for someone to flop back on forth between BPD and BP or have both. I has a best friend with both who went off her meds. At the end of a month, I did want them as a friend anymore. Cruel. Painful. Brutal. Thankfully, they are back on her meds and we are friends again. Personally, I never want to see Zara, their BPD alter ego, ever again.
Where do you go from here? Work to minimize the symptoms. That can be how your live and act and also can include meds. No matter what, unfortunately it will likely take ore of an effect no matter the diagnosis.
