As I enter my early 20's, I am beginning to show identifiable signs of some rather mischevious mental disorders.
Borderline personality disorder and bipolar type-I.
I am concerned that I will never have a stable social life.
Can someone give me hope? Is there a chance for someone like me to become stable enough to offer fulfilling interaction with others?
I will try my damndest to get on the proper meds and get appropriate therapy, but in the mean time, my self-esteem is eating shit for fear of me never being able to normally connect with another human being due to emotional instability.

have you self diagnosed these conditions or has a trained mental health professional done so?
Because if its the former I think you should find a psychologist and discuss your concerns with him before jumping to conclusions. Both of those conditions are curable by the way, but it will take a great deal of effort on your part.
A number of years ago I was diagnosed with severe depression and was able to cure it through a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and medication. It was very hard and I probably would not have been able to do it if I hadn't had my family forcing me to continue.

sounds to me like you are not having a perfect life so you are LOOKING for a disorder, a disease, an excuse.
