Even though I've taken enough psychology classes to properly analyze myself and others, I try not to.
In your case, I caution you not to over-analyze and try to self-medicate or reach a diagnosis on your own. You are not looking at yourself objectively.
To say you fit the borderline criteria is one thing, but unless it's been diagnosed it isn't healthy or advisable to diagnose yourself. Borderline personalities can also mimic other psyhchological problems and show symptoms that can easily be mis-interpreted.
I'd recommend seeing a counselor rather than trying to analyze yourself. It seems like you are going through a lot of emotional turmoil and I'd hate to see you go through a healing regimen and not have the problem correctly diagnosed.

it's not too long.

if it makes you feel much better than that's the point. it's good to realize things about yourself and even better to get to share them with people.

there's so much growth in this entry that it's crazy.

Thank you. I just needed to lay my cards on the table. I was starting to feel like I was carrying a weight around on my chest.

So basically, you are turning into my mother....the horror.

I'm not "turning into" anything. But I have already realized that your mother is basically the poster child for BPD, so I suppose I can see how you'd make the comparison.

There are a lot of books out there (on Amazon) written for people who have been raised by or in a relationship with someone who's borderline, if you're interested in facing your issues.

The fact that you're aware and analyzing, (not necessarily over-analyzing) your situations shows that you're growing and trying to change things. Rockin.

(Because CLEARLY I'm in a position to tell you anything, what with my big bags of drama that are currently cluttering my head... :/ )
