I was diagnosed with BPD about two years ago while in the military. Since then I got out and I’ve been dealing with different psychiatrists and psychologists. Although I haven’t been diagnosed with a bipolar disorder, the doctors I see seem to have the general consensus that I am bipolar (and yes they’re aware of my previous diagnoses.) I mean, I know I’m definitely borderline but bipolar makes sense too. I meet the criteria for both I guess but it’s such a fine line between the two that I’m not sure which is considered a symptom of which. 

My mood swings are generally rapid, I have a lot of angry outbursts, a huge fear of abandonment, history of self harm, self destructive behavior, and practically zero sense of identity. That all points to BPD, but I also experience manic episodes and delusions and sometimes auditory hallucinations which points more to bipolar. 

Is anyone else kind of like this? In my opinion, I think BPD could really just be classified as a third type of bipolar but I’m not a fucking doctor so I don’t know.
