borderline diagnosis

ok i know many ppl prolly ask this but i will ask anyway cuz maybe my case will be different.
i am a 17 yr old female. im in therapy and she has told me many things about myself that sound like bpd. but she hasn't mentioned the diagnosis, should i bring it up? because 7/9 characteristics describe me from the dsm 4. or am i just self diagnosing? i just want some closure, i mean reading about bpd sounded exactly of my life.
here is what i have in common with bpd

-impulsive, quick to act
-moody, my moods change within the minute
-self harm, cut,burn,and scratch myself because i deserve the punishment
-splitting, my therapist told me i use this defense mechanism which me i really love the person or hate them
-black and white thinking
-fear abandonment so much i cling to everyone around me
-supposabily im a "master manipulater" according to my therapist also a "emotional terrorist"
-self centered, care about me first, think my needs come before everyone elses
-needy i act like im 3 she says
-get angry when something small comes up or if i disagree with it
-very paranoid, think everyone's "out to get me"

so i'm asking should i bring up that i could be bpd? or is that not a good idea? because she says all these things to me which is like saying im bpd without actually saying it right?

Hi Peach,

I think the best is to be open to your therapist as much as you are with yourself. Life is a consistant journey and at the end of the day we have to make the steps ourselves. The therapist will just guide you. I think maybe write down all the things that you want to ask or say, the next time you go to the therapist. That will help you get to your core issues and help you find the answers. Try not to put yourself in a box! You are just as unique as I am.

"Sometimes life will never give us the anwers we want, because they are already inside of us, we just have to reach deep deep inside ourselves and litterally pull them out!"

Good Luck

It sounds like you could possibly have BPD. If you feel confortable enough with your therapist than I would try bringing it up. It is very possible she/he might think you are BPD but since you are 17, they don't know if they should diagnose you, (they did for me), anyway yeah I would try bringing it up.Hope all goes well.
