At the age of 70 I have my bipolar 1 disorder well in hand/under control. My story is a long one and, if you are interested, Tiggi, you can google it at: RonPrice BPD. I have registered at over 100 mental health, depression and BPD sites and contribute my two cents worth when appropriate.-Ron in Tasmania
PS...I, too, saw the Fry program. In my experience BPD is highly idiosyncratic, like so many things in life. Some specialists now say there are at least 6 types of BPD. There are common patterns; if there were not, BPD would be a nightmare. I have posted instalment #1 below FYI.-Ron

1. Preamble and Introduction:
1.1 This is a longitudinal, retrospective account going back to my conception in the last half of October 1943. Neurobiological, neuropsychiatric and affective disorders like BPD have diverse manifestations and symptomatology as well as a broad range of age of onset and specificity of symptoms. Little is still known about its pathogenesis, that is, the origin and development of the disease. What follows is one personâs story, one personâs life experience of BPD. It is my personal life-narrative with the diverse manifestations, the symptomology of BPD as I experienced it.
