I've ordered some books on Borderline just to read more about it. But I am resisisting discounting any other possibilities an expert may identify, or not identify.

Dont fully embrace the BPD diagnosis YET then, until you are sure. Bipolar n some types of PTSD can present so similar to BPD - even some psychiatrists misdiagnose ppl.for years. Just be careful is all I am.saying bc BPD has a lot of stigma attached to it - n even if the dx is changed later - many ppl tend to keep those stigmatizing ideas about you ..
