> Scott, what does BPD stand for? If borderline, well I have tried to tell people I have those features.
Excellent.
To be so open minded will help to get you well sooner rather than later. Most people would be resistant to being diagnosed as BPD.
> If Bipolar, I have had that nos thing given and taken away.
Comorbidity is a possibility.
> I have looked for mood stability all my life.
Since what age?
> Maybe now that I am older, I don't know. Mood stabilizers. I was at least better off on a little lithium than this.
Perhaps lithium reduced impulsivity.
> I haven't a clue as to treatment protocol for borderline stuff besides therapy.
Trileptal + AP + CBT/DBT - I've seen it work.
> If I can get out of this, once Morgan said 60%. How about a 60% med?
That is a very clever observation. If one is Borderline, I would say that this 60% is correct. If one is suffering from a brain disorder type of mood illness, medication can be 100%. If your mood/anger/anxiety can swing several times a day (or even minutes), BPD must be considered.
What makes doctors think that you are bipolar and not borderline? Your particular hell might be some combination of BPD with BP/MDD, GAD, PTSD, etc.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
