I was in the process of being assesed for ADHD, BPD, Bipolar Disorder by my APRN  before my therapist discharged me for being too “high risk”. 

My APRN would never bring up the words BPD, but my therapist had said she was leaning towards BPD because she was also kinda “assessing” me considering I saw her every week, and my APRN once a month. 

My APRN would always bring up Mood Dysregulation and talk to me about possibly being put on mood stabilizers. 

Is there a difference between Mood Dysregulation and BPD? What are the key differences? 

I feel like I have shown symptoms of BPD for a long time now, but the past year or 2, I feel like I’ve been able to slightly control my mood swings. (Yes, I understand BPD isnt just mood swings) 

I just know for a fact Im not bipolar. Im not too educated on mental health, so please correct me if Im wrong but I feel like being bipolar you may be depressed for weeks/months, then be manic for weeks/months. I feel like BPD/Mood Dysregulation is much more short term, like hours/days.
