In the article skies posted it mentions Hyper-reactive hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenocortical axis is common in people with BPD. This article http://www.timeforwellness.org/files...bruary2014.pdf mentions some herbal remedies for this problem, I already take the Theanine that he mentions and have good success with it. So if you think some of your issues might be anxiety related it might not hurt to try some of these. Although if your not interested in herbal remedies I understand. But I do know that there are pub med articles that show Theanine can help with anxiety.
