It is manageable, with medications. Relapses can occur weeks or months after ceasing medications, so don't trust how you feel. Keep your life as stable as you possibly can, by that I mean e.g don't complicate BPD with alcohol abuse or recreational drug use, sleep at regular times, eat healthily and exercise regularly.
