I'm not mixing them up. Notation varies. There aren't two bpds it's also not even BPD in most parts of the world anymore since borderline is representative of an antiquated understanding of the disorder. If you actually GaF you'd be calling it EUPD.
My country doesn't even use the ICD. You're telling me, "if you gave a f*ck, you'd use a term that no doctor or anyone in your country ever uses or understands." Multiple countries use the DSM-5 besides the USA, y'know.
