BPD is most often used for "Borderline Personality Disorder" which is very different from Bipolar Disorder.

  Quick note that it's different but not very different, to the point that one can be misidentified as the other. A key difference is in the mood cycle length. Days/weeks/months with bipolar but seconds/minutes/hours with BPD.

    BPD is generally identifiable through relationship dynamics. It's sometimes summed as as "I hate you, don't leave me!". I believe it can be misidentified as bipolar, but the dynamics are very different to most people. BPD: - Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined emotional abandonment. - Unstable and chaotic interpersonal relationships, often characterized by a pattern of alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation, also known as 'splitting'. - Inappropriate, intense anger that can be difficult to control. - Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms. The first two are incredibly common with BPD and really are the defining characteristics.

Agreed. There are "strains" of ADHD that show some remarkable similarities to bipolar disorder that must be sussed out by a really skilled professional. My source on this is personal experience.

  I am a wistful entrepreneur. The reason i haventbeen able to go full force on anything and make anything work is because im risk averse. Starting your own business is a risk. Sure it may seem like they are risk averse compared to the other ones that flame out. But make no mistake you cant be an entrepreneur without taking a larger than average risk on. Otherwise you could just get a day job.
