Gah. What an unempathic GP. How can you ignore tiredness from depression and anxiety? AGGGHHHH!!! When's your regular GP back?
What is the main part of BPD that you can relate to? Maybe try saying - e.g. - "I get really upset and angry when someone leaves me on my own, and I'm concerned what this might be, it doesn't come under the listing for the diagnostic criteria for depression, and I wonder what it is. I need help for it." Something like that, maybe.
The psychiatrist I saw told me I have long-standing treatment resistant depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other problems due to things that happened to me in my past! [yes, you can breathe now!]
Which would basically mean that was depression with borderline and PTSD features, or some such. [actually my therapist and I agree I have Complex PTSD, which is basically PTSD with some borderline-ness.]
The most important thing is that you get treatment for what is distressing you.
