Hey Chris,
Oh yes. Although many who suffer from BPD are also comorbid (often times it is coupled with anxiety and/or depresssion). I thought for the longest time I had RAD (Reactive-Attachment Disorder). I spent hours searching for possible disorders that I had. I know for certain I have anxiety, depression and alcoholism. Although, I have had specialists ask if I've ever considered ASD, which I relate to, as well as complex-PTSD.
Although many don't like to get hung up on labels, I find that putting a name to my disorder has helped take a lot of the power out of it for myself and has helped me find recovery options.
