What Are The Symptoms Of Borderline Personality Disorder?

I have a question. I have been reading online and I am curious is it possible to have Bipolar and borderline personality disorder? Because i was diagnosed with bipolar when I was 19 then now I am 23 they said no I don t have bipolar I have borderline. Yes they have the same symptoms but I still feel I show symptoms and signs of both BPD and Bipolar?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
I have gone through your medical history carefully and understood your concerns.

Borderline personality: Patients look at things/people as either "too good" or "too bad".
Bipolar personality disorder: Patients have symptoms of depression, with sadness and sometimes anxious and happy/elated.

Either patients have either Borderline personality or Bipolar personality disorder but having together is uncommon.

Hope I answer your question.
