That's an interesting idea - BPD being like bipolar but in fast forward.... I'd never thought about that! 🙂
I guess in some manias (not all, some are just horrible and you don't think this at all) you feel like the king of the world - like everything you say is fascinating and you are gorgeous and ever so smart. (Like I said that definitely doesn't happen for every manic episode and some people with bipolar never have a mania that feels as egoic as that)
I don't think my friend who experiences BPD experiences that side of it all - please correct me if I am wrong about the way people experience BPD..... because everyone is so different 🌼
