quietlylost makes excellent points. It's not unusual for someone to have both BPD and BD. Also, and this is so important, someone who has been through childhood abuse or other trauma can have symptoms that might look like BPD initially, but as therapeutic work is progressing, those "borderline" traits are exposed as post traumatic stress disorder.

Something else to think about is that the old BPD diagnosis is slowly, but surely, being replaced by the diagnosis of Emotional Dysregulation Disorder.

Whatever the case, though, as Sarah pointed out there's plenty of support and friendship here on PC, regardless of diagnosis. I enjoy your presence on PC. I hope you'll stick around
