DXed with BPD (among other things) at 23, fitting all but one of the criteria. Now i'm 41 and have held on to just three of them. i think over the years i have neutralized the rest in part by embracing the 'schizoid affectations' aspect of my DX. since i don't get any more than superficially involved with anyone, criterias 1,2, & 8 have no outlet. The last time i semi-seriously committed myself to therapy (five or so years ago), it became apparent that i'd adopted another pd for coping...narcissism. this eliminated criterias 3,5, and for the most part 9.

leaving me with:
4)impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging
6)affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood
&
7)chronic feelings of emptiness

of course, i'm a hermit for the most part. but that's alright cuz i prefer my own company to that of anyone else.
