I have been diagnosed with mild depression but I've always felt like it was more than that. I have always been a very moody, emotional person but when I'm in relationships, I'm Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Sometimes I'm mellow and rational while other times I'm extremely irrational, jealous, and have obsessive thoughts and I can't control it. It's been a journey dealing with this for me and everyone around me. I'm planning on seeing my psychiatrist again but does this sound like BPD? After reading many posts on here, I feel like I'm not so alone.

I am speechless after taking that test, but in many ways its a relief. I do was diagnosed with depression and anxiety which I felt never really got to the core of what I was feeling. I have a string of long term relationships in which never work and I end up feeling used and abused. I know these things only happen if you allow them too right. Anyway thats enough for now.

For the first time, I feel like there are others out there (here) who truly understand what I'm going through and thus, will likely understand me.

It's a breath of fresh air.

The funny thing is: the Borderline seems just like me and it's "moderate."

I understand what u mean. I have been diagnosed with depression and also might be suffering from other disorders. BPD may be one of them. I always felt like there were other things bothering me, more than just depression, yet i havent been diagnosed with anything else yet.
Would love to chat.

Well I saw my psych. doc and he didn't believe I have BPD rather, he said I had more of the characteristics of Dependent and Avoidant personality disorders. I think I'll just continue to work on myself, be good to myself and others...and hopefully that will bring peace.

i was diagnosed with depression and anxiety when i was 17 which later developed into suicidal thoughts, agoraphobia and panic attacks. i have had very unsuccessful relationships and have lost a lot in life. i had a test done by a top psychologist who said i had traits of a personality disorder but not enough to define one. im tired of goin round in circles and tired of feelin like this. ive been on many types of medication to no avail.
ive done different test on the internet and they all seem to come up with the same conclusions, so i dont know what to believe??

Storm, your psychologist's tests would most likely be more reliable than an internet test, which can't pick up hesitations, doubts to any answers etc, and if theres a question where you would answer "maybe" to an online test, you could expand on it if you were talking to a real person. Online tests usually are for prior information, and to see likelyhood of having a disorder.

I CAN NOT BELEIVE THIS, I WORK SO HARD TO SAY COOL ABOUT MY PROBLEMS. NOW I SEE WHY I CAN'T CONTROL MY SELF IN SOME SITUATIONS, AND WHY I CAN'T STOP TALKING.

i started cutting my self to deal with my problems since i was 12, and i've tried to kill my self at least three times. the first was when i was very young probably 9. I didn't know that they were disorders until i read this forum. Im sixteen now and it's been less than a year since i stopped cutting my self but everytime i feel sad i tend not to eat for the whole days. I come from a country where psychological health is something that is not to be concerned about.
