I am also diagnosed with BPD, and I believe that I received the dx because of self harm, although my pdoc didn't say that was why. He says that it's a combination of problems that I have, such as anxiety, depression, fear of abandonment, dissociation, as well as the si.
At first, I was offended by the dx and tried to get him to take it back, but I've come to accept it now.
