Yea it sounds like some symptoms of BPD. In my case I never even knew what BPD was. I have always had bouts of depression. But mostly I have always just been very emotionally unstable. It is my emotions that have always reeked havoc in my life.
I had been "informally" diagnosed Bipolar II but when I read the symptoms it just didn't sound like me.
So I wrote down ALL my symptoms. I made a chart and it took me weeks to make it. Any time I'd get a feeling or thought I'd add it to the chart in categories. So I went and saw a new Pdoc and brought him this chart... told him of my "biploar II" diagnosis. He literally read my list, looked up and said BPD. So I rushed home and read those symptoms and Voila.... THAT'S ME! I just knew. No doubt in my mind that's what I had.
So My advice to you is to write a list of Everything you feel and bring it in. Some doctors aren't as familiar with BPD. It's so easy to mix it up with Bipolar. But like Echoes said... the label isn't as important as addressing your symptoms. Maybe ask your therapist about DBT.
Also... you should try reading a book on BPD... "I hate you...Don't leave me" OR "Sometimes I act crazy" are two good books. You can see if you relate to the books. When I read them I was floored how much I related.
Are you on medication? Antidepressant may not be enough. U may benefit more from a mood stabilizer. I dunno... just throwing out some ideas for you to talk to Pdoc about.
