BPD is really simular to bipolar, except it cause really poor emotion control. For me I generally feel emotions in the ranges of 1-3 and 7-10, 4-6 are completely bypassed for just about ever emotion. I actually do tend to isolate a lot if I'm feeling a particularly bad emotion at 7-10, the problem is it goes from say a 3 to a 9 in about 5 seconds. I've literally walked out side before for some air when I was work in the middle of talking to the NCOIC of the ER and when she followed me I just walked home (I lived on base). She actually got in trouble and not me because I asked for space and she and her supervisors were all aware of my mental health issues since I was already being medically retired. Well that's my brief description of BPD, it also has impulse control issues which I believe is linked to unstable emotions. I've gotten better at controlling my emotions most of the time and hopefully when I start a civilian job it'll be different then Army work, plus the fact that I don't have to act like I guy anymore.
