I do have some of the symptoms listed here but I think it's just traits. I am diagnosed with OCD and I see people with BPD have obsessive traits. When you mean obsessive, do you mean being obsessed with a person or thing rather than an obsession that leads to a conplusion to take the obsessive thought away? I can be obsessive about people and my emotions can be very intense about others. I feel like I can be a bit manipulative, announcing that I feel depressed or something negative to catch a certain person's attention. Is this a BPD trait?

I wouldn't say I was 'unstable' but when it comes to relationships I can love someone one minute and hate them the next if they upset me.

I have considered bringjng this up with the nurse but I don't want that diagnosis as people are very ignorant about personality disorders. I already have an erroneous, in my opinion, diagnosis of schizophrenia and don't need another reason for people to hate me. Unfortunately the world is backward and the stigma attached to mental illness is enough to stop me from bringing it up with the nurse. Half of the reason I hate myself so much is because of the negative attitude of people towards mental illness.

Also I cope with self loathing through sugary foods and alcohol.

Does this sound like BPD??
