megabytesteve;
I wish you the best! and any one else that struggles with more than one struggle.

if it is ok- can I share some thing with it all. I just have this topic on my mind, because I had a time, I either could not conceive the idea I had BPD or I was just too stubborn to accept it ((ha or be offended it was even mentioned)) (but I realize now, that probably also some aspects was some pain that I thought was over, was really just covered with a bandaid that my brain used to cope in away).

For me, I tried best to understand the differences and each disorder- I had to be in a willing mood to do this.

And sure, I always agreed- to "sure have traits of BPD, at times"- but full blown, no way- After all, I have time frames I would disagree I ever have anything as a "struggle"- plus - anyone that has known me- knows I would not fit the classic traits that are the stigmatized with BPD- but no I am a "quiet one"... Also, from my understanding a lot of personality disorders are just so "ingrained", so attached... with time and the above, realizing some key points of what assisted with my "fit's" into the criteria of diagnosis, a light bulb did go off// I am sorry if for some this is not helpful; I could see how not too. Just it inclined me to understand, and accept it more and get help with coping and easing some battles.

I am sorry. not trying to hijack the thread, but just input on the topic.
I hope you are well. I have heard of a lot of coexisting diagnosis in people, - There is a lot of literature of all sorts on the internet, like even people's personal stories, books, articles...

I am sorry, right now I am feeling like life is short, I had this struggle and if any one can take any thing away from it - to help themselves to do whatever they need to-- I hope... ((or is that just my ego talking? )) sorry-
