Differences between BPD and Asperger's

It depends heavily on the circumstances. Under certain conditions, I'm very reactive. Under other conditions I'm quite cool. So I don't know what to give as the average.

I am depressed and slightly stressed right now, though NOTHING like how I am when I'm working. At least most of the jobs I've ever worked. They've not all been like that but I've had bad luck there. Fingers crossed for a job that doesn't suck. I don't think I'm psychotic.

The self diagnosis thing is more for fun than anything. I won't be able to see a shrink for at least 6 months. So this is just a little intellectual activity, a pass-the time.

I've been seeing psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and therapists over the last couple years and I still self-diagnose so there is nothing wrong with that. My usual recommendation is spending time with those groups and see if you fit in. I'd suggest reddit for that since things are a bit faster paced. You should be able to see how much you relate, if at all. Of course, you need to keep in mind how many are also self-diagnosed but over time, it's easy to see a correlation.

Thanks.
