Hey, I've been diagnosed with Bipolar and BPD for a while now. Even though I've read up on it, I still can't figure out some of the things I've been feeling. I have read my share of non-fiction. But now I'm looking for fictional stories with the protagonist who has Bipolar or BPD. Please help !

‘Emilia oliphant is completely fine,’
Though it’s never confirmed exactly what disorder the main character has, I found her to be very BPD coded.
‘The silver lining playbook’ is a romance between two people with bipolar disorder.
‘Glitterland’ another romance. This time between a bipolar mystery author and a chav fashion designer/model.
