Hey Jaus,
I struggle with this a lot. As in, ok, so do I really feel like this or is this my disorder talking?
The only thing that is helpful is some spiritual advice I heard once. It goes something like this, "Higher Power is eternal, therefore anything pertaining to it is eternal too. If it must be right now or never, it is not eternal and therefore is not from the Higher Power."
So to apply that to BPD, who we are, our very essence is eternal (or at least as long as we live). Therefore, if you are feeling pushed to do something on the spot, if it must happen right now, if it can't wait, then it is BPD. If you can sit on it and wait for a couple of days or a week and it still rings true, then it probably is from you.
I hope this helps.
