Suggest Treatment For Borderline Personality Disorder

I think I have BPD disorder but would appreciate a second opinion. I am 32 year old female & have suffered moderate-severe depression on & off for the last 8 years.I have increasingly become aware of getting stuck in cycles of thought which I can´t escape,my instability of moods, fear of abandonment in my intimate relationships, but most worryingly of all, I have bouts of severe rage where I physically lash out at my boyfriend over the most minor things (hitting and kicking him). Despite being aware that I should not be doing it, I feel unable to control myself and swing from loving him to having really intense feelings of hatred towards him where I feel that I want to seriously hurt him. I have no idea where all of the anger is coming from, the only factor that might have played a part is that my father was a heavy drinker & used to come home very drunk, verbally aggressive and, on occasion, violent towards my mother.I am not suicidal nor have I ever self-harmed, could I be BPD?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I suggest you are confusing about those symptoms. You should ask yourself. What are the other occassions when you get angry excessively other than with your boy friend, within your home ? We all get irritated and angry outside our home on so many negative occassion and we seldom react. That is because we want peace. I think you are more possessive with your boyfriend. That could be reason for becoming out of control. If you want to diagnose your problem properly, you should consult a psychologist. The psychologist shall conduct some psychometric tests which should explain it all.

If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
