A lot of therapists don't want to diagnose BPD. Many are at a loss on how to treat it since it cannot be cured by drugs and traditional talk therapy doesn't always work either. Also, insurances don't always cover BPD. I think that if your therapist cannot competently explain the difference between what you have and BPD, it's time to possibly look around for someone else who knows how to successfully treat what you have instead of just calling what you have something else.
