If you're identifying with the symptoms, if I were in your shoes today, I'd see if I can get an assessment in order to get a dx (or possibly not).
As far as advice for coping and stuff is concerned, that will come, pending on your diagnosis.
A therapist would be a good starting point, because different environmental circumstances would trigger different emotional responses within you, making it not always too clear cut, because circumstances in life can sometimes change as often as daily.
And then of course there's the BPD forum here on PsychCentral where you can post as often as you like to get tips from BPD members.
Regardless, whatever transpires out of this, please let us know what the outcome is and how you are travelling.
