Hello,
I am new to the forum and from what I have read there is a lot of great personal experience to draw from here.
I have been diagnosed and in treatment for bipolar 2 for several years, mostly with medication. Lately, it has come up in therapy that 'maybe' I have borderline personality disorder. I have asked, but I cannot get a decent answer as to how one distinguishes bipolar from BPD. I definitely have almost all the 'classic' BPD signs, but I also have most of the classic bipolar signs. Anyone diagnosed with both? Are there any more comprehensive tests I can ask for that might narrow it down? Thanks to all,
Melina
