How do you differentiate between BPD and Bipolar Disorder? I have been diagnosed with Bipolar 2 but I've also done research on BPD and it sounds very similar to what I experience as well, but a lot of it sounds very closely related to bipolar disorder. So, would I be able to tell if I had both? Is it also possible I could have been misdiagnosed or that I could have symptoms of both? Thank you in advance!

Bipolar and borderline personality disorder (BPD) do share many symptoms which can make it difficult to get a straightforward diagnosis. Major signs of BPD often include issues with relationships and fears of abandonment, while bipolar disorder is characterized by acute manic episodes and severe depression. BPD moods can shift very quickly and dramatically, and there is often a fear of abandonment and turbulent relationships. Bipolar disorder, on the other hand, is episodic and is a mood disorder where you experience highs and lows for longer periods of time. It's possible to have both disorders, but it would require a thorough evaluation by a mental health professional.
