Hi, Chris. My answer to your question is yes and no. For years I ignored the possibility that my various mental issues could be tied to a particular, known disorder. An eruption of symptoms earlier this year led me to start researching, so while I haven't been looking into things very long, I've been doing so very intensively for about six months now. I started with delayed grief reactions, which led me to attachment disorders and then to BPD. I kept taking online BPD tests, expecting to be told only that I had some traits, and the results kept saying "Yeah, you've got it." However, those tests aren't officially diagnostic, so as Ruby says, you might want to consider seeking a formal answer.
