Caution: Interacting with persons with BPD can be hazardous to your health, livelihood and reputation. Proceed with extreme caution for they may suddenly turn on you and ruin your life. This happened to me in late 2001. It forever changed my life. It was sheer luck that I managed to regain a tenable situation.

Yeah, they can usually go back and forth depending on what's strategically viable for them at the time.
I wouldn't trust them really at all as this is really just an offshoot of psychopathy, with a slightly smarter strategic twist.

Are Bipolar and Borderline Personailty Disorder the same condition, or do they differ?
How are Bipolar and Borderline Personality Disorder Different?
What is the difference between BPD and bipolar disorder, then? Some major components separate the two. While the disorders are both characterized by mood changes, the quality of the mood changes can be very different. In BPD, mood changes are often more short-lived -- they may last for a few hours at a time. In contrast, mood changes in bipolar disorder tend to last for days or even weeks. Also, mood shifts in BPD are usually in reaction to an environmental stressor (such as an argument with a loved one), whereas mood shifts in bipolar disorder may occur out-of-the-blue. Finally, the mood shifts typical of BPD rarely involve elation -- usually the shift is from feeling upset to feeling "OK," not from feeling bad to feeling a high or elevated mood, which is more typical of bipolar disorder.
