I’m currently in the progress of being diagnosed with either bpd or bipolar and one of the deciding factors is whether I experience mania or not. 
I, and many people who have bpd, sometimes have an extremely elevated mood in which I get loads of energy. I want, no, NEED, to move around and do things. I’m rarely get tired while in these moods and I want to do very impulsive things. I feel incredibly sexy and on top of the world. These moods usually last from minutes to a couple hours. 
However, my psychiatrist says that this is not mania, because manic symptoms have to be present for at least a week (or a couple days for hypomania) for it to be considered a manic episode. 

What are your experiences? Do you think you can experience mania with bpd?
