I fit the DSM-5 Criteria for BPD. I scored 88 for BPD on sanity score connected to psych central, and the borderline test connected to psych central gave me a score of 43 when 33+ is supposed to be generally severe. I know that BPD isn't usually diagnosed in adolescents but recent studies are starting to show that symptoms actually start at this age. Can it technically be diagnosed at this age or do psychiatrists still not diagnose because of all the hormones teens have? I've been reading up on it in general and especially how it presents in teens (Understanding Adolescents With Borderline Personality Traits). When I read through the symptoms and how it presents it just seems to fit so well and I feel like it completely describes me.

I am already diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. I've been through self mutilation, suicide attempts, I need an intense amount of reassurance, sometimes I'm so angry and I can't control it (which leads to punching myself because I can't hurt someone else because I wouldn't do that), when things go wrong I automatically turn to risky and impulsive behaviors which is starting to become quite problematic, everything I feel, I feel it so incredibly intensely, emotional lability, no self esteem, and so much more.

I don't know if I have this and the chances are low, so I don't mean to self diagnose, but is this something I should be worried about or bother looking into more? I do see a therapist every other week for my depression and anxiety but I am so far too scared to mention that I feel like this possibly might be what I'm experiencing. Where should I go from here? Thank you
