I have to agree with some of the other posters here- you really don't want this diagnosis. It's a catch-all one, I've had it along with shizophrenia, etc. I've heard people say BPD stands for bitch-pissed-doc, especially since pdocs usually apply it to young women who all have issues anyway. Honestly, I don't think it exists- mood swings are bipolar, dissociative episodes belong in dissociation disorder and cutting is a lousy coping skill. I would fight this label, like other's said nobody wants to treat you. Good luck- Judy
