I think I may have undiagnosed bpd. Some symptoms aren't there (I prefer solitude, for example) but I often don't feel one way or the other about things, which may be what emptiness feels like. I have periods of mild depression and anxiety. I can be bitter or sarcastic and not realize it until someone tells me to stop, and while I hate confrontations, I have been known to start shouting when stressed. A lot of my family problems stem from a lack of anger control. I can't get a proper diagnosis, but what do you guys think?
PS, I spend money like no ones business, and alternate between not eating much and eating anything I can get my hands on.

Talk to a professional about it. They are really the only ones who are able to properly diagnose you.

Although, I do believe that you'd need to give more details than you did give to give a doctor a good picture of what is going on.

I know I didn't help much, but that is the best advice I can give to you.

I am not a psychiatrist, but these symptoms sound spot on for bpd. I too have what ppl call bpd rage---hair trigger rage and don't realize it's happening sometimes, either, until someone says, "Carol, lower your voice, soften your voice..." or "Carol, calm down!" etc.

Again, I am not diagnosing you but sharing my own experience with these symptoms. Also the eating.

Welcome. This board might help you get some insight whether or not you get any diagnosis.

As I say, I can't get a proper diagnosis. For one thing I can't afford it, and for another, I don't know where to go for one in the first place. Thanks anyway, though.
