Bipolar is pretty different from BPD -- I'm bipolar, it peaked in my early-mid 20s and went down after. mostly it's just massive energy and recklessness swings i never really had:

by 30 the swings lost enough intensity where I stopped doing dumb shit, and the rest is just spending a few weeks sleepy-tired-cozy, and few weeks dancy-flirty-flowy
