I'm tired of feeling like this, it's too much sometimes. I just want to be a normal, stable adult. I know not everyone reacts to EMDR the same and PTSD/BPD is different for everybody, but is there any way to know how long before I'll start feeling better? If it makes any difference, I do make progress pretty quickly and work hard on my own.

Yes, PTSD is a bear of a disorder. I wonder if the "borderline" label is accurate at all though. 
I'm sure it does give some relief to have an absolute label, however, you really don't know 'exactly' what the problem is yet.. ugh. It's a multi-layer disorder imo.
EMDR does work quite well for many people. I'm glad your t is smart in this, knowing not to go too quickly. Often going more slowly results in faster healing (as you don't have to stop, retrace, clear up other deep issues you trudged up first, regrouping and re-establishing safety.)
I wish you well. It sounds like you're on the right path now.
