I suffer from BPD and bipolar. My bipolar is now effectively managed with medication. But really struggling with BPD. Is anyone else out there suffering? How do you cope etc? Any advice?

The issue is that generally bipolar can be controlled with medication but borderline is a lot harder to control with drugs alone. So if you have a dual diagnosis try and work out why they've done that, because it really isn't very common.
As for how I control by borderline, generally I try to engage with people when I feel the emptiness closing in. It sometimes works and it sometimes doesn't. The problem is when I try and engage and nobody is there; it makes the drop even bigger. But I'm not coping terribly well at the minute either so meh.
