Borderline Personality Disorder Traits! Anyone else have this diagnosis?

Just wondered if anyone else has this. Was diagnosed about 6 months ago. Just have traits of it rather than the full blown disorder but it makes things difficult. Especially social situations and relationships. Also have GAD! I think its hard for anyone else to understand and I had never heard of it before so it came as a shock! I am married and look normal and mostly function quite well. Not really met anyone like me.

I have in my past diagnosed with borderline tendencies. I just saw a psychologist who thought I am not borderline anymore. I did have one year of dbt therapy. Maybe it worked.

I have borderline personality disorder unfortunately my daughter is in the care of my mum in law as I was sectioned under the mental health act it affects my daily life and my moods are very erratic I am having a lot of therepy which is helping was a shock being diagnosed with it I would recommend d mindfulness and dbt (I'm not a psychologist) that is helping me I think more awareness needs to be raised about BPD

I have this diagnosis too. Also Recurrent Depressive Disorder.

Haven't had DBT as it's not the full Borderline Personality Disorder - also I've been through an episode of Psychosis so I take AD's and Anti Psychotics.

I do feel that the label of 'Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder' is more accurate than BPD, because although I'm generally a calm person I do have quite severe and sudden ups and downs.
