1) She is in denial, that's why she is the way she is. You have a chance to self-discover and help yourself. It's good.
2) meds? You been on plenty. And you still have issues. Maybe something else in addition can help. Why discount it? Therapy can help much more. Meds will never get you out the place you are in. Meds will not bring you the AHA, I should be doing this moment.
and meds in some cases can help *symptoms* of BPD.
Look at it this way... meds can help you
not to feel something... self-knowledge... that has to be learned. And sometimes it's hard. especially if you are in objectivelly bad place and have to fight the outside forces (your mother, finances... all the other things).
I say screw diagnosis... look at the symptoms and what you can do. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different result. SO don't go down that path.
