A debate I had with a friend recently. He says that schizophrenia is worse than bipolar disorder and kept bringing up movie nonsense. I with real world facts said that bipolar is just as bad since both illnesses can drive the person mad and make them do harmful actions. Sure it depends on the individual case itself, some are minor and some are severe. The more severe cases of bipolar disorder can share some of the same symptoms of schizophrenia such as hallucinations. I tend to be angered when people downplay bipolar disorder and say it's the same thing as depression, when really bipolar disorder is much different.

So, my ex girlfriend was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, however I firmly believe she has borderline personality disorder.
She self harms, has crazy mood shifts, makes self destructive choices, etc.
Recently, I found out she cheated on me after we had been on and off for a while, but she cheated as we were together. I was not perfect in the responsibility, especially impulsive. However, they should not be anything significant to this point. I have put up with so much abuse and leaving that I don't understand what's going on, really.
Even though she cheated on me, she broke up with me, says she hates me, but the last two weeks I've woken up to 10+ text messages and 15+ missed phone calls.
It's to my knowledge that BPD people are very prone to doing this.
I feel like I know the answer, but want opinions! All love
