Hey "J-79" ......
Do NOT confuse Bipolar Disorder with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) ...... they are COMPLETELY different.
You actually can be sitting with your Father and still FEEL totally abandoned ...... even though he is right there with you.
BPD is a disorder of Emotional Dysregualtion. Some even refer to it as Emotional Personality Disorder.
Persons (75-80% are female) with BPD "appear" to be fine and actually function in other areas of life at a high level.
Persons with BPD are VERY impulsive & usually have problems
with relationships, eating disorders, overspending, reckless driving, shoplifting, careless,indescriminate sex ..... but not necessarily ALL that I've mentioned.
Bipolar is the old "Manic Depression" ......
Very commom to be Bipolar & BPD ...... especially among women.
Best Of Luck .....
