So I guess I have BPD and bipolar 2. Its hard to tell because I always have so much going on in my life that I think maybe other people just make me crazy. I'm sure that's not true though. I have only been taking medicine for a few months, I hate to take medication. I am just having a really rough time right now. I miss people that I know in my heart are bad for me but I got so used to relying on them that I don't know who else to talk to.

Hi annie!
 I also have BPD and Bipolar (but I
have Bipolar 1), so I can definately relate to you. Maybe you are in fact a little mentally ill (aren't we all here?), while others are making you crazy as
well, lol, I know other people in my life drive me up the wall too... I also don't like medication.. I was on a lot of meds for 2 years (since I was first
diagnosed with Bipolar and OCD) up until the beginning of this year.. I just couldn't be on them anymore, I didn't feel comfortable due to my excessive
worrying with OCD. I completely understand what you mean about missing the people who are bad for you.. once you get used to someone being there, whether they
bring you negativity instead of postivity, they're still what you have known... and you want them there. I've been there. But just focus on new
beginnings and as my therapist always tells me "surround yourself with people who are good to you." You can always talk to us on here, and just send
me some mail sometime if you'd like... I'm here for you during this rough time.. even though I've been going through a rough patch too for quite
some time now, I still love being there for others. Take care!

I think it will help to talk to people who know what you're going through. for some part, it's like looking in the mirror- and for aspects that you
struggle with, some may be able to help you overcome certain things.
Have faith and be strong

Hey-I'm new and also am diaganosed with Bipolar 2 and BPD. I do take my meds though. I've been on anti-psychoics /mood stabilizers for roughly 4 years.
But the more and more i learn about BPd I don't believe I sufffer from bipolar. My therapist says that a mood stabilzer still helps even with people with
BPd-to take the edge off. So for now i'm sticking with them. And I also tried every anti-psychotic /mood stabilizer made until I found one that semi works.
Good luck
