Could this be bpd?

I’ve always been a pretty emotional person but I’ve noticed when something happens that I can’t control or fix that’s when I’m at my worst. I’ll become angry one moment then sad the next. I don’t really open up about my feelings, I don’t have too many close friends and I don’t want to bother them with my issues. I have a really bad habit of never talking about myself, I find it selfish and honestly I hate talking about myself anyways.

I looked up what could cause such intense emotions. The best result was either BPD or anxiety disorder. I share a lot of the signs of BPD including; suicidal tendencies, impulsive buying, mood swings,unstable relationships and drug use( just weed).
I find they come in episodes.I usually go weeks or months without symptoms appearing, unless of course something happens that upsets me. Also side note I’ve never been diagnosed with it or seen a therapist/doctor about it. I’m also pretty sure my dad had BPD.
What do you guys think, do I have BPD? Or am I being paranoid?

    I think you shouldn't let internet retards, who have no idea what they're talking about diagnose you. BPD is a pretty serious illness. My brother has it. It makes you SUPER contraindicated for various psych meds (including antianxiety meds and antidepressants) and other medications as well, so if you do suspect you have it, you should bring it to a doctors attention. Don't go on a forum for people who touch dog buttholes and huff farts. That's dumb.

      I would just like to reemphasize the seriousness of Ms CD's assertion. BPD takes more professional competence by psychiatrists/psychologists to work with than almost any other condition. This will take therapy that is far more complicated than easy stuff like CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy).

      Shop around. Get a referral from your primary care physician.

    The insight about this comment is awesome. It's also hard to imagine how you could stick with someone like that for 6 years. Did she have redeeming qualities, or were you wildly in love with her, or did she refuse to let you go, or did you stay with her on principle? Or did that particular sort of disorder just not bother you, somehow?

    You could. The only way to find out is through testing and it could be a good idea in case you need medication and/or other kinds of support like therapy with a psychologist who knows BPD.

    It may be. The best thing is to see a therapist, because your post sounds like you’re not content with your life as you are.

    I think you should see a psychiatrist. None of us here are doctors.

    Do you obsess over people that you shouldn't, and have zero regards for people you should?
