Thank you Tokoloshe, that's reassuring advice.
I've also been diagnosed with Dysthymia and, in the past, an eating disorder. I've recovered from that to a reasonable point now... so to answer your original question - Dysthymia (chronic 'moderate' depression). Which is well treated at the moment (am recovered from).
I acknowledge I had a maladaptive way of coping by using self harm, but I don't believe the rest of the personality characteristics/behaviours match me, the instability of relationships and sense of self, intense fear of abandonment etc.
