One other thing....BPD people feel alone in their emotions, that no one understands, and many of us are driven to share with our friends and others because of that. We just want to connect with others, feel less alone, but it too often backfires. It's not 100% wrong to tell, but be careful. You could easily find out that people who you thought were your friends don't act quite the same way towards you when they find out your issues. It's hateful...I hate it more than I can say, but it is the way life is. The important thing, again, is that you know (many, many people don't), and that you can start working on it for yourself.
