Because someone mentioned borderline personality disorder I was reminded: BPD stands for borderline personality disorder, not bipolar disorder.

Also calling someone borderline as a detractor is casual ableism

Living with either without support and treatment can be a living hell, even without all the stereotypes and demonization.

@ratbaby doesn't it sort of stand for both, since it could easily be a handy abbreviation for either

@a_breakin_glass np! I didn't know either until a friend some years ago told me to stop calling bipolar "BPD"
