Is this BPD?

[aflower4God]

I have been told that I COULD have this disorder. See I am a VERY sensitive person. My moods can sway sometimes. Let me further explain. I could be in a GREAT mood window's open and I am enjoying God's air. Then I will hear some bad news or get bullied or get told that I am this or that, and my mood changes from happy to depressed really quickly or I get definsive very quickly. This has caused me to lose some friends. Like take today for example. I was in peaceful mood then my best friend told me about how her father said some things about me that was VERY upsetting, I got really depressed and wished that I was gone, you know with Jesus.
So is this BPD? I took one of those quizzes on line and it said that I have about 50% of it. What do you all think in your opinion. I just want to know so that I can figure out what is going on with me and try to get better by doing research on this topic for helping me. Thank you for your advice on this matter. God bless.

I can so relate to what you say as I sometimes wonder if I have the conditions and I do have some of the symptoms such as mood swings, overeating, overspending, feelings of paranoia and fits of anger though I am not suicidal and don't self harm. I too have done these online quizes and told I could have it. However from what I can gather the only way to know for certain is to consult a psychiatrist. I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you but I can certainly understand what you are going through as I am going through the same.

Nobody here can tell you if you have BPD. It is a psychiatric diagnosis to be made by a mental health professional in a therapy session. If you have trouble regulating your emotions, and difficulty with relationships, then you should speak to a psychotherapist and work on those things, and allow the therapist to diagnose you.

While I relate to what both of you have said, as I have been Borderline in the past, your descriptions and behaviors could also fit other diagnoses.

God bless.

I think many people have got one or more symptoms of BPD. It is not unusual when you get upset by an annoying piece of information and that doesn't look like a mental issue to me. We all have a right to believe and do whatever we want to. If you think that you don't have other symptoms of BPD (that too the harmful ones) then maybe you are a little more sensitive.

I entirely agree Pristine. From what I can gather it is possible to have some borderline traits without having full BPD and I suspect that is the case with me.
