Hi all. I used to use this forum many years ago but now being 32 and with no friends I need to find every avenue to just try and connect with people. Hope everyone is as good as they can be. I have autism and EUPD.

Welcome back to Wrong Planet.

You wrote, I have EUPD. They have so many names to describe out condition. I had to look this one up. According to the Internet:

Emotionally unstable personality disorder, EUPD, or Borderline Personality Disorder as it is also called, describes the problems you experience if you are emotionally unstable, anxiety-ridden and have a pattern of self-destructive behaviour.

So I looked a little deeper. For example:





So I think this is another way of describing Bipolar Disorder. According to the Internet:

Bipolar disorder, formerly called manic depression, is a mental health condition that causes extreme mood swings. These include emotional highs, also known as mania or hypomania, and lows, also known as depression. Hypomania is less extreme than mania.

When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania, you may feel very excited and happy (euphoric), full of energy or unusually irritable. These mood swings can affect sleep, energy, activity, judgment, behavior and the ability to think clearly.

Episodes of mood swings from depression to mania may occur rarely or multiple times a year. Each bout usually lasts several days. Between episodes, some people have long periods of emotional stability. Others may frequently have mood swings from depression to mania or both depression and mania at the same time.

Now that I have bored you to death, enjoy your stay on the Wrong Planet.

Jimmy, just so you know borderline personality disorder and bipolar aren't synonymous.
