I also think personality disorders carry a heavier stigma then mood disorders. I wish I can remember where I read that according to a few psychiatrists, BPD should not even be listed in a personality disorder because in their opinion it's more of a mood disorder. Who knows. Next year they may come out with a new label too.
IIRC, I read somewhere that it's named "Borderline Personality Disorder" because it's on the borderline of sociopathy.

BPD is not a mood disorder. It just seems like one. It can be eliminated.

Cymbalta, 60mg -- for the depression.
Latuda, 40mg -- for the paranoia (delusional type).
Adderall, 40mg XR & 5 mg reg -- for the ADD.
Xanax, .5 mg as needed -- for the anxiety.
Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.
