In reply to borderline personality disorder / bipolar, posted by Cheryl on February 6, 2000, at 17:51:20
I'm sure someone will post a DSM description of borderline disorder; yes you can have both (I was dxed with both). Sometimes in people who ultrarapid cycle with bipolar- daily or several times a day- pdocs will confuse the dx. Some of the borderline traits like self injury and suicide attempts get less severe as you age- those symptoms were more prominant in my teens and 20's than 30's. So there is an overlap with mood lability, however my last pdoc dxed me as rapid cycling bipolar and not borderline. Hope this isn't too confusing.
