Thanks for the explanation.
Do you think (and I've been meaning to ask this from the very first time I saw your signature) that your OCPD developed in reaction to your BPD or vice versa, or your BP, or just (mostly) separately, in "isolation" or due to other factors, or as an expression of the same thing?
Would you agree it has some overlap but also (and maybe mostly) counteracting parts/behaviour?
Edit:
Would you say being confused and angry at others is a form displacement together with "just" expression, any expression, and the displacement (and for some also the expression bit, but not like it, more "practical"/"useful") is something that is something that is also a characteristic of delusions. Could the speed, the need to rationalise and express be what causes this overlap. Hope you get what I mean.
Not to disprove what you said or anything. I am seriously confused about/by my personality and I have some theories and insight, but if it were it should surely be easier to deal with. But maybe not.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
