I'm really worried lately I picked up NPD traits from my 2 exes with NPD. I debated posting this in the NPD forum but I guess my actual question is for Bipolars...
Do you ever worry your BP disorder will develop into a PD as well? Or rather, cause one?

The thought never crossed my mind. But it is possible to have both bipolar and BPD together (or any other PD in general).
Bipolar I | GAD
Lamotrigine - 400 mg | Clonazepam - 1 mg

It's amazing how personality disorders go undiagnosed but Bipolar is usually pretty obvious to a psychiatrist. I think it's easier to tell someone they're Bipolar than that they have a personality disorder. I have some narcissistic and avoidant tendencies but I would be offended if someone told me I did. Bipolar was a welcome diagnosis and it's like it all makes sense now.
Be kind to everyone you come across because you never know who’s suffering inside.

I am definitely avoidant but I think I should probably put this worry to rest. My bad experiences in the past are very much related to my avoidant tendencies.
