difference

I am Bi polar and Bpd, but.. I never quite grasped the difference
between them. I have read articles and ppl but, idk. ??

bipolar is a mood disorder and bpd is a personality disorder.

the short line is that bipolar is a mental disorder where a person has patterned phases they go through.....depression, hypomania and mania.

BPD is borderline personality disorder. this is a mental disorder where a person doesnt really have a lot of stability. example one day they may be up the next down, one day they may like someone the next hate that person, Rocky relationships, some have abandonment issues, behavior problems, some have inappropriate expression of their emotions ie laughing when the situation should be sadness, joking around when the situation calls for being serious....quick tempers, suicidal, self injury and other inappropriate or negative behaviors, low self esteem,......

What exactly entails a personality disorder tho?? What is Hypomania?

Hypomania is the middle ground for people with bipolar. they feel great, everything is going great for them, they are neither extremely depressed nor extremely manic (manic is when the bipolar person is making decisions with out considering the consequences, having lots of mood switching, irritable, angry, happy sad, excited....all their emotions are just going everywhere.
