I know you want a diagnoses but I'm not giving you one. Is there a school counselor you could talk to perhaps? Therapy is ideal for anyone with BPD and for you to have attempted suicide so many times and not receiving therapy is very troubling.

Two things I have to say about this quote:
1) BPD can be severe, but it can also be highly manageable with proper treatment. Don't worry about having a severe disorder -- worry about what you know you are experiencing.
2) Being diagnosed won't make your problems any worse -- you already know that you are experiencing troubling symptoms and a diagnoses is only a tool for treatment.
You are doing an excellent job educating yourself and being aware of how you feel. I think self awareness is amongst the most important tools for handling mental or personality disorders.
