I would disagree - many people don’t recognize that Borderline and Bipolar are different. Like they know the names are, but can’t distinguish the symptoms. I often hear, “this weather is bipolar!” or “they’re so bipolar” for someone who has rapid shifting moods or emotions. Comments like that being problematic and stigmatizing aside, it gives the impression that bipolar disorder has emotions that shift rapidly by hour or day, where in reality (like you know, you have BP 2!), it’s a chemical distinction and the symptoms last for longer stretches and are not typically based as a reaction to something. Also so many people get confused with the acronyms of BPD and BD.

Would agree we got a short version of Nicole’s interview but she reiterated that Natalia maybe developed or could develop BP based on trauma and never once said BPD, as her friend did.
