Hi there, Welcome! Thanks for sharing your story. It does sound like you have a lot of characteristics of BPD and I think that it is good your psychiatrist brought this up (my therapist wont take me seriously, she believes all BPD's are the stereotypical manipulative attention seeker). Can I ask what the name of the book is?

Just know you are not alone with what you are going through. Now you have lots of people to help you through everything and who completely understand and can relate to you.
