Borderline personality disorder

[BPD84]

Hi I am new to this forum and was hoping to find other people who share my illness. I was originally diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder,  social phobia and panic disorder.  This was roughly 12 years ago. I was recently re evaluated by a psychiatrist and told I don't have generalised anxiety disorder but I do have borderline personality disorder in addition to social phobia and panic disorder.  I have known for years that something was wrong and kept thinking I had bipolar however I am a textbook case of borderline personality disorder and was wondering if anyone else out there is or knows anyone that is. Any knowledge is welcome.

I think I am borderline:

 anxious and depressive.

quick to anger

break down if I feel abandoned

at times suicidal

 sound similar? 

I also have social phobia
