Borderline Personality Disorder

[BilboBaggins]

Hey gang,

 

Sorry for the randomness of this post. So as we know, many disorders can overlap. Someone mentioned on here (i don't remember whom) that they were disagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. It peeked my interest and I started looking it up. I know that self-diagnosis is never a good idea, but many of the things described really hit eerily home for me, and I've noticed a lot of the negative type symptoms have been progressively getting worse. So, I'm just wondering-if you have BPD, how can you be more sure I guess. I don't have a therapist or anyone to talk to , so if I have suspicions, what sort of action should I take? There's a registered physcologist at my school, but I don't know if you're only supposed to talk to her about academic things or what.. also, if you do have BPD, what can usually be done for it? Does it get worse with age? I've looked it up but a few things are kinda sketchy.
