Definetly not. Although the mood swings associated with BPD resemble those of rapid cycling Cyclothymia (like but less severe than Bipolar 2), and respond to the same treatments, and that both Bipolars and Borderlines express anger and are very impulsive, Bipolars don't have a chronic feeling of emptiness and boredom, don't have much problems with interpesonal relationships (when mood is intact), their identity is quite stable, their are MUCH less suicidal, and not likely to have paranoid ideation.
