BPD/HPD the differences by orion13213 @ Psych Forums

"BPD: better named Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder ? : in the worst cases nearly psychotic episodes of dissociation. The best known splitters among the PD's: at any one time they see people as good or evil with few intermediate characteristics. Frequent emotional outbursts, more so than HPD (the feral cat analogy the above poster suggested is a good one). Lack of self image and self identity: BPD's have such a vacancy within themselves they often end up sounding like the other person they are having a conversation with. Afraid of being abandoned or alone. Known for impulsive behavior and addiction to sex, alcohol, marijuana, harder drugs, gambling, and other risky behaviors. Some make superficial cuts to the arms and legs to release analgesic endorphins. Serious suicidal ideation and suicidal attempts.
In a relationship with a BPD you would probably feel in control and secure, but after a while maybe smothered. Breaking up could be even more problematic, however, since it might trigger rage, obnoxious stalking, simple assaults, or in rare cases, worse forms of violence.
On the positive side, if you really love a BPD they have the best chances of remission, and they seem to possess genuine empathy. Unfortunately it is such a crippling condition for those who have not sought treatment, many are un-employed or under-employed.

BPD emotional supply: "Go away - no -I changed my mind, stay with me!"


HPD: like a more functional version of BPD, with a more tightly focused psychological challenge: relationships with significant others. In the beginning you will feel like the most loved person in the world, probably only later to suddenly fall into oblivion. Probably the most well known cheaters among the PD's. Like BPD's, HPD's split, and this explains the extreme initial idealization / later devaluation of you, and the constant search for the ideal man (or woman). They don't seem to be intentionally trying to hurt others, though. Some say the only way to sucessfully manage a relationship with an HPD is to keep them guessing: don't let ever them know know you love them and set down strict disciplinary guidelines regarding cheating. If you are too serious about life, they have a refreshing light superficial perspective, but don't expect too much deep intellectual reflection (unless they are trying to recover). Despite supposed problems with orgasms, great in bed, if they are so inclined. Fairly well represented in professional buisiness and entertainment circles.
