tbh i kinda think borderline and bipolar are just manifestations / variants of cPTSD

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:
a bad view of myself, trouble with emotional control, unstable relationships, passive worry, etc.

bipolar swings have "triggers" but they're long events for me
it's not "got yelled at" or "partied a night"
it's more like, a 3 day convention combined with drugs, travel, and reduced sleep can trigger it, and it'll last 2-6 weeks
also sex, peak experiences, novelty, etc.

Others actually noticed that when they cuddle me when I'm hypomanic, I FEEL warmer
appetite suppression (once ate 300kcal a day for 4 days after a convention on a whim), reduced sleep, feeling fucking amazing, etc.
it's a bit like having a JoJo stand lol
