Does this sound like BPD?

The way I behave towards others is truly awful. I am over-sensitive and can take offence at the smallest comment. I’ll then either cut that person off completely (have done this many times to family) or completely ignore them when I am in their company. I have hardly any family or friends left. I’m rude, selfish and argumentative. I display black-and-white thinking (people are all good to me or all bad) and I struggle with my emotions. I just act impulsively to how I’m feeling. I can be hugging someone in day and not speaking to them the next day. I think my granny had a personality disorder so I’m sure I’ve inherited this. Either that or it’s from having an emotionally unavailable mother for most of my childhood.
It’s mainly the bad relationships and high emotional reactivity that lead me to BPD.

Any thoughts?

@Wishiwasatailor 👍😊…I’m super chuffed for you! Keep working at it 😊
my D has adhd too, but she’s bright (masked it) and only got diagnosed about 6 months ago. We are now thinking the delayed diagnosis of the adhd actually then fed into the emergence of the BPD at age 17, if that makes sense?
