What is the difference between borderline personality disorder (bpd) bipolar-1?

Professional: That is not for you to determine. Get professional treatment. The therapist can guide you in what involvment if any, that you can participate in. Never do it yourself.

Borderline: Intense fear of abandonment, being manipulative, impulsivity, a tendency to think of people and things in all good or all bad terms, self mutilating behaviors, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual impulsivity, a profoundly disturb sense of self, and extreme emotional volatility. Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings from deep depression to the stratosphere of mania.
