BP and BPD

I'm just curious, out of the people that have this dual dx, which do you find more difficult to manage?

Well of my dual diagnosis, one is Schioaffective and the other is apparently PTSD. I would have to say that I strugle much more with the SZA than the PTSD

I swear after my last trauma the bpd just went away. Must be the numbing symptom from the ptsd but I'll take it. Bpd was far worse than bp because it was daily and it interfered with my relationships so many more times than the bp does.

I was dx with BPD and BP. The worse is BPD, it messes with your head. I don't know if I said the right thing to my therapist or if I hurt her feelings. I worry about things like that all the time.
I have a conversation with someone and as soon as it is over and I'm alone I start critiquing the conversation, and judging my responses. It's crazy.

I do that all the time. I actually mentally kick myself in the arse over and over. Is that bpd related? I figured I was just self critical.

My BPD is way worse that's what causes short term depression for me on the bipolar end the hypo mania is my strongest symptom so it's basically just like being high on coke I'd take the hypo mania over the BPD symptoms any day!

My Bipolar is my dominant diagnosis.

Guess it would be different for different people though.

Not that my Borderline tendencies don't remain there.

I'm a low functioning Bipolar.

I'm a high functioning Borderliner.

Or so my pdocs say.

Here. I wrote this a few minutes ago.

I don't even know if this makes sense because I am currently manic:

I don't have the dual diagnosis of BP and BPD (my last therapist said I did not have BPD) -- and I'm kind of in the Purgatory of diagnosis right now -- but I'm really happy you said that because that is EXACTLY how I feel when I'm "up" (without the wretched hangover the day after)! I feel exactly like I'm high on coke. So, thank you for defining it like this.
