Does anyone know about Borderline Personality Disorder?

I was perusing the book store yesterday after I heard the terminology "Borderline Personality Disorder"...... and a friend mentioned my h might be accused of having this disorder, that it wouldn't hurt to check it out.

So I did....so many things in there are common to what I've been going through, the roller coaster emotions, the walking on eggshells. The way he goes from extreme being nice, to the next being angry and unable to discuss anything.

However, at the same time there's alot of controversy at to the term "BPD", and that it's like a catchall for things unexplainable.

Has anyone you know been diagnosed for this? How was the outcome? I read they usually do well with medication and therapy that usually last for 10 years then it becomes better.

I am not saying my h has this until it's diagnosed, but it's very interesting how some of the symptoms are exactly what I'm going through - mostly alot of pain, back and forth......
