To the OP;

Goodness... so much me! I'm stunned how accurate and fitting this description is.

What I am shocked at is the fact that despite such clear accounts of the symptoms and the "inscape" of BPD available, whenever I sought medical help, all my doctors could come up with were the most random - or, on occasions hideously unscientific - "diagnoses", ranging from anxiety to demonic disturbance.

One DOES feel it is still the Middle Ages, when it comes to mental health.
