I'm not saying you're one or the other or both, but something you wrote jumped out at me I'd like to comment on:
rejection sensitivity and mood improving once getting into work or mingling with folk.
Keep in mind that 'rejection sensitivity' is actually a hallmark of BPD and I have read that some people with BPD do feel better when around others, as there can be an intolerance of aloneness.
I'm wondering if you're questioning your diagnosis in part because you still haven't felt a great deal of improvement in therapy (I think you mentioned this) and you're getting frustrated with your treatment? If this is in part the reason, maybe you can talk to your therapist about feeling like you're not moving forward, maybe you and he/she can try some new approaches, or you could consider a different therapist who might help you more. Good luck!
