In my experience, i’ve read that bipolar episodes last from 3-14 days; while borderline personality episodes rarely last more than 1-3 days; sometimes multiple times in a day

My depressive or manic episodes can last weeks or even months. It can also happen to be both at the same time for weeks or months.

What sort of events/places are triggering the bursts? Emotional dysregulation is common in a lot of different circumstances(ADHD included). Bipolar tends to be longer than quick bursts, a few days and typically manic/depressive.

I’m my opinion that’s more indicative of ADHD. Bipolar tends to be more over weeks or months but ADHD swings happen when level of dopamine change (which can happen drastically frequently throughout the day). I’m not a doctor though so I’d definitely recommend more personal research into ADHD and seeing a psychiatrist. Best of luck and feel free to dm me with any adhd questions.

possibly 🤷 you'd need more symptoms and context to know

This is not something the internet could answer. You need the help of a diagnostic psychologist.

My anxiety gives me a short temper and quick bursts of anger. I would speak to a psychiatrist and get a proper diagnosis. My anxiety meds help so much to regulate my mood.
