You are further along in your path of being more fully understood by your doctor, which I hope proves helpful. 
One of my very best friends suffers a very quiet type of BPD. Most people never suspect BPD in her case. When relationships are very close and she discloses her inner experiences, its much more apparent as to how she suffers.
I do hope the diagnoses prove helpful to you, moving you along toward healing.

I'm sure that hearing these things is shocking for some people. I have suffered silently for a very long time and when things would get really bad I would just retreat away from everyone so they couldn't see what I was going through.
I think where I'm having trouble is that from the very few people in my life that I've told I just wanted support and what I got was far from that. My mother told me my doctor was wrong because he must have been swayed by the fact that I have pink hair and issues with my father so I told her the criteria he diagnosed me with and I haven't heard from her since. It's hurtful. Especially when I'm struggling as it is.
