News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

I really need some sane advice. I am married to a woman who I suspect is BPD with elements of histrionic personality disorder, as well. She has not been diagnosed as such, although she has received previous tentative diagnoses of bipolar, depression, anxiety and presently treating with antidepressants.

I have 2 psychs, one for my e.d. and one as my normal one.
thing is, i dunno how to cope with what these 2 have said. the e.d. one met me and within 1/2 hour said i was bpd. and my other psych thinks this is fair comment. how can one make a dx within 1/2 hr meeting me?
i feel like a labelled freak. like there's something fundamentally wrong with my personality and ...
