I don't know much about you Rainbow, but coming from someone that has BPD, I would suggest that reading about other's experiences who live with BPD would give you a very good idea whether you have it or not. Just a thought. The diagnostic criteria doesn't say half as much as an account written by someone with BPD. When I read about others it made it absolutely crystal clear that I have BPD as I could relate SO well to everything I read. Might be worth doing?

Also, I would agree that the symptoms are more important than a label, but personally I found the label of BPD useful (although I had already worked it out for myself) because I was then able to access the drugs that I needed to control it which were not being offered before.
