I was just wondering if anyone here has this disorder?

I really do think I have it and it's what has lead to my social anxiety.

I can relate so well to all of the symptoms especially in my adolescent years!!

I have thought that I may have had it in the past. Doesn't really bother me knowing, because it is only a label, it doesn't mean that a person has to be stuck with it forever. A lot of mental disorders are very similar, so it's really hard to tell a lot of them apart. While it may help knowing what you have, if there is specific medicine for the disorder, I am not aware whether such exists for BPD.

yeah I think I most definitely had that in the past but it all relates back to that empty feeling inside of not knowing who you are etc at least we are aware of our issues now and im ALOT more stable and calm in comparison to my adolescent years thank god

We just have to accept ourselves and try our best every day to overcome this problems. I believe that we are far more interesting human beings than the big majority of people.

We are at the dark side of life, we have seen and felt things most people don't have a clue about it. It's funny but it's like being a vampire.
I'm not all sad for having this condition, I just wish I have learned to understand myself better many years ago.

I very well may be. I've definitely exhibited most of the symptoms at some point... But I find when I start to think in terms of diagnosis and "I have," it stops being something that I can overcome. Which is completely detrimental, and so I've stopped thinking that I have any kind of final diagnosis, despite being told otherwise. Possible denial leading to worse circumstance, and possible beginning of truly getting better. I'll take my chances.

Yeah, screw psychiatry, labels etc. Medicine will never really label what I have.
If it were for psychiatrists to decide, 80% of the population would be labeled with something. And we must never forget that psychiatrists and psychologists belong to the group that commit more suicides in the world, Malcolm Gladwell wrote about that.
