Is borderline personality disorder any more volitional than bipolar disorder? - bipolar personality disorder more condition_symptoms

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago, and was repeatedly hospitalized. During a recent hospital stay, the staff began to throw around the word "border". It terrifies me, as I am aware of the stigma of bipolar disorder.

Since my first diagnosis of bipolar disorder, I took some comfort to know that "not my fault, my symptoms and inappropriate (and humiliating), behavior results from a chemical imbalance in the brain, not an act of will.

Finally (the diagnosis and were not officially diagnosed, but I recognize that it meets several criteria), I feel like if I do not have the luxury, I feel it is my fault. Although the genetics and biology play a role in BPD, all the literature I read is that it usually responds to any type of trauma, and therefore is not organic. Moreover, in contrast to bipolar, treatment is often the most effective way to treat it. So all this makes me feel like the old cliché is not of the "mental illness your fault, because it is a chemical imbalance" does not apply to the BPD- And a professional point of view, many people try, boundaries, as if they can help "" inappropriate behavior.
