But you still haven't answered the question and shrugged it off and yet you're sure you have BPD.

Why do you want to have BPD so much? I would much rather be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, than BPD. Do you even know the s**t we get for this disorder from the MH teams? You will get more help for all your issues if you're diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, than if you're diagnosed with BPD.

So the questions being...
1. Do you tick 5 or more symptoms of the above DSM?
2. Do you really want to be diagnosed with BPD and be treated like absolute s**t, or stick with the anxiety disorder diagnosis and find a therapist who can help you properly with your issues?

Everyone here will tell you, the diagnosis means squat (unless you're diagnosed with a personality disorder). It's about treating the symptoms you carry.
