I asked my T once I thought I had BPD and she said, "show me a 17 year old and I'll show you BPD." Now, that was not professional IMO, but I think her point is a huge amount of people could fall under the BPD diagnosis.

My pdoc hit me with Bipolar NOS which I think is bs because I was psychotic when we met, OCD, and ADHD.

My SSDI evaluation came back bipolar I, PTSD, personality disorder NOS borderline what ever in the world that means.

My advice is don't sweat the labels and remember psychiatry is not a science. They can't take a blood sample to prove any of us are mentally ill.
