I agree with your counselor!. Borderline Personality Disorder is quite a heavy diagnosis because it really is a combination of all the above listed illnesses, and therefore it is not only difficult to correctly diagnose, but once it is, it has a high amount of stigma due to the violence and manipulative behavior (i!.e!. "If you leave me, I'll kill myself!.!.!.")!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
