The internet is a wonderful resource. It does have some drawbacks. The only safe and reliable way for your friend to know if she has BPD is to be evaluated by a therapist with experience in diagnosis. None of us are qualified to do that, and it appears, neither are you.

I suggest your friend seek an evaluation if the symptoms are troublesome to her.

God bless.

Hugs,

Hi,
Are you very close to this friend of yours? Is it possible she does have those other elements as well, but maybe you just don't know? I think some with BPD who have a strong narcissistic component to them are good at appearing one way to some and another way to others.

Or, she might have another "cluster B" disorder such as
NPD or HPD. HPD is very similar to BPD usually minus the suicide attempts.Some think HPD is just a lesser form of BPD.You could look into this, but just to let you know, there is less info out there on HPD.

Or, she might not have any disorder but character issues and such, like the rest of us.I wouldn't want to label everyone with problems, with a personality disorder
