After my nasty experience I keep my symptoms to myself. Last winter I was suicidal for two weeks and didn't tell anyone. I just suffered through it even when the urges got really bad and scared me.
I never recommend the ER for psychiatric reasons to anyone unless they need immediate treatment. E.g., severe self-injury There are other options in the community that can be very helpful for people who have suicidal thoughts but are not in immediate threat to themselves.

I have a very good Dr I see now and shes removed the BPD dx.

I'm glad you were able to get the correct diagnosis.
I can't get the BPD label off my records, because the psychiatrist who added it to my records no longer works at the hospital. My psychiatrist told me I could add a note to my medical records though.
