Have you asked why this seems to apply to you?
These diagnoses are a way to describe symptoms or ways in which we interact with others. With BPD, intese internal experiences, and intensely felt emotions, for example, can affect our behavior and interactions with others.

There are other things: Intense fear of abandonment for example (some act out on this, trying to keep people close to them, while other avoid relationships). In the same way, a person can have an intense fear of losing their job and feel not worthy of their job, spending every minute in theat job (in my case 11 years) waiting to be 'found out' and lose the job.

It's complex.
Asking why this applies to you in particular would help you to understand the reasoning, and yourself too.
