I was reading about this on the web and it sounds like I have it. I am an alcoholic, really bad scene as a a kid and so these traits might be common among people with anxiety and depression. But it scares me because it hits the nail right on the head.

Sorry to hear that. I had the very same response upon reading about BPD. It really sucks to have your self worth and mood and everything totally determined from outside sources. To not have that inner core that stays the same no matter what. It's so hard that way...

I also belived at one time that I had borderline personality disorder ( ugly dx ) and I even went to 2 or 3 Pdoc whch never really took time to even check me out. At that time I had a terrible relationship with a boyfriend who would treated me like dirt no phisical abuse but worse mental abuse ( I can' believe I put up with this ) and the worst part of it was that somehow he was able to convince me I was that needy/unimportant/aggresive etc..person!..my self esteem was none existent. This relationship lasted about 8 years on and off, until I decided to move to the US ( yes from my country b/c I knew I would be unable to move forward..Here I found my actual husband who treats me like a princess and my symptoms disapeared...Now b/c of compararison with my son who has ADHD I found out that I had this too, and everything now makes sense. So don't believe everything you read ,when we are young specially on the teen years our personalities are so rich ( meaning we hve a little bit of everything) that it's hard to know if we really have a problem. The enviroment is very important too, if you have a toxic relationship like I did, you loose your self esteem.self confidence and may act in a way that after 10 years you realize that you are not that person you once thought you were...So my advise would be to get away if possible from everybody and try to understand what's really going on in your life, who are you angry with, who has hurt you, etc
Hope this help....Susana M.
