QU31...i've never heard or read that about self-injuring being associated with either, or more prevelent in borderline. That's interesting to me.

What i understand the main difference to be between bipolar and borderline is....borderline lends to more narsasistic behavor (caring little about the feelings of others...similar to sociopathic behaviors, but not to the same extreme).

I know for myself, others and from accounts of people i've read about...parania is common with bipolar. My paranoia comes on strong with people whisper around me. If they are not whispering TO me then i assume they are talking about me and that i've most likely done something wrong (hence the need for them to whisper). It happens constantly in newsrooms....so it's a constant thorn in my side that i sometimes just have to put on headphones and listen to music load enough so not to "hear" the low conversations going on around the room.
