I’m no longer sensitive to criticism or rejection, however I remain sensitive to sensory overload, bright lights, loud sounds, strong smells.

You're right, it can be related to borderline, but it can also be a depressive symptom (it's even one of the questions on the IDS), or related to attachment issues, or a bunch of other things. I don't know whether Lizzie1813 is going through a mood episode at the moment, but one of my Pdocs once told me it's generally not a good idea to try and diagnose personality disorders when someone is in the midst of a depression. It's just impossible to get an accurate impression of someone's real personality at a time like that.
