Holly makes a great point. There are bipolar/BPD reactions but then there are reactions caused by negative interactions. It's incredibly difficult to work through what is what, especially in the initial stages of diagnoses/figuring out what treatments work for you. It may be helpful to make note if you recognize that you're having a reaction that may be "extreme" or abrupt and bringing it up when you talk to your doctor, therapist or whoever is helping manage your medications and mental health care. Making note of things that you notice about yourself and your interactions or particular things you notice about yourself that you're curious about and then discussing them with a professional can be a great way of working out what may be caused by what or why you said/did something (if that is an important part of understanding and treating your mental health, for you)
