Sounds like BPD to me, but only a doc can make that diagnosis!. The important thing for YOU is to take care of your OWN safety needs!.

I don't know how old you are!.!.!.but!.!.your mom could just be being a mom!.!.!.or even just be being a person!. You didn't give a lot of information but i'm guessing you think she may have BPD because she goes from really happy to really sad/angry or whatever very easily with no warning!. If this is her ONLY "symptom" she's just being a woman!.!.!.cause sometimes!.!.!.that's how we are!. Also depending on her age she could be going through menapuase!.
Look for these other signs:
constantly changing jobs (either due to getting fired or quitting)
making friends but then loosing them very quickly
extreme behaviors such as being very thrifty one moment then the next moment spending large amounts of money!.
This condition is VERY serious!. If your mom just goes from happy to PISSED very quickly, trust me, i very highly doubt she has BPD!.!.!.she's probably just a stressed mom like tons of other women out there!.!.!.!.but if the other things i mentioned are common traits in your mother then it's a possiblity!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell her you're worried about her, and you want her at least to talk to somebody about whether or not she might have BPD!. It sounds hard, but you can and should do it if you really care about your mom's well being!.
Oh, and stop looking on yahoo answers for advice on your own mother!. Talk to her, not the people who've never met her!.

On another note, after reading your details: it doesn't sound like your mom has BPD!. It sounds like she's depressed and should seek medical treatment!. Either that or at this point in her life she's depressed with the way things have turned out for her and she should pull herself out of rock bottom!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
