Just want to put this out there: there is no such thing as clear-cut BPD. Think the founder of BPD Global, Sandy Boone, told me there are over 400 variations...

I have BPD. I find that I don't fit in with most others who have BPD. In fact, I don't really display any traits unless under emotional duress. And I told my T and Pdoc upfront about the BPD. They have never judge me for that diagnosis/label. It simply gave them a general idea about my issues. And both have agreed that I'm nothing like the stereotypical BPD. I am however, very similar to other people with BPD who are at a similar point in treatment.

It's your choice what you do and don't tell T's, and how you view yourself. Just wanted to explain that nothing is "black and white".
