I have an exam on personality disorders on Monday & Im spending the whole weekend reading about them so I hopefully will know EXACTLY the diff between avoidant and BPD but yeah if they dx you with one you could still have features of another personality disorder. being dx'd borderline kind of sucks though. its makes T's in general not want to deal with you. and it gives them an excuse to say your being difficult when youre not. i dont know how you feel about "avoidant" but you may want to stick with that!!! hugs. MY T wouldnt ever do ever do that. Hes the best. (I think he comes on here, lol). Hugs.
