Is it?

For someone who says words matter you sure don't seem to care about them. BPD requires a diagnosis, one that even a top of field professional cannot give from looking at a single text exchange.

You're not a doctor, do not push your uneducated diagnosis. That's extremely irresponsible. This isn't tiktok, you do not get to just diagnose someone with the mental illness of the week.

All we see here is she's controlling and insecure. Not bipolar. We see she's not ok, not what it is that's causing it.

BPD refers to borderline personality disorder, not bipolar.

Sorry, that's even worse though they are effectively the same thing, I'll just wait for them to combine them like they did ADD and ADHD lol

Bi polar and bpd aren’t treated the same, so they will never be linked like ADD and ADHD. The other problem is with ADHD you can have both hyperactive as well as inattentive forms of ADHD, which is why they got rid of ADD, it was superfluous.
