| Don't call me Bipolar just because I have episodes of extreme Euphoria followed by episodes of extreme Depression. It may be true, but it's not nice to label people. |

| Kay: Bipolar and Borderline are very similar: Borderline personality disorder (DSM-IV Personality Disorders 301.83[1]) (BPD) is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a long-term disturbance of personality function. It is one of four related diagnoses classified as cluster B ("dramatic-erratic") personality disorders typified by disturbance in impulse control and emotional dysregulation, the others being narcissistic-, histrionic- and antisocial personality disorders. Disturbances suffered by those with borderline personality disorder are wide-ranging. The general profile of the disorder typically includes a pervasive instability in mood, extreme "black and white" thinking, or "splitting", chaotic and unstable interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behavior, as well as a disturbance in the individual's sense of self. In extreme cases, this disturbance in the sense of self can lead to periods of dissociation.[2] These disturbances have a pervasive negative impact on many or all of the psychosocial facets of life. This includes the ability to maintain relationships in work, home, and social settings. Common comorbid conditions are "Axis I" disorders such as substance abuse, depression and other mood disorders. Attempted suicide and completed suicide are possible outcomes without proper care and effective therapy.[3] Onset of symptoms typically occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, which persist for about a decade; while this period can be trying on the patient, their support system and their therapists, the majority of cases lessen in severity over time.[3] The most consistent finding in the search for causation in the disorder is a history of childhood trauma (including child sexual abuse),[4] although some researchers have suggested a genetic predisposition.[citation needed] Neurobiological research has highlighted some abnormalities in serotonin metabolism. The incidence has been calculated as 2% of the population,[5] with women three times more likely to suffer the disorder. The mainstay of treatment are various forms of psychotherapy. In general, medication is used for symptomatic relief, particularly to assist with affect regulation.
That's really pretty much the same as Bipolar. I wasn't trying to insult you. |

| Well alot of things are "similar"
Doesn't change the fact they're still completely two different disorders, at least according to psychiatrists.
