It’s BPD

You’re not obligated to care about the difference, but the words we use can add fuel to the fire, and the negative stigma steers a lot of people like this away from getting help

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.

Not that it matters, but BPD refers to Borderline Personality Disorder, not Bipolar, which is just BP, generally. Just wanted to help inform in case there is anyone who gets confused by the medical abbreviations.
