Before anyone else posts an answer, please note the definition of Borderline Personality Disorder (which I have) do some research. A closed mouth gathers no foot.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) (called emotionally unstable personality disorder, emotional intensity disorder, borderline type in the ICD-10) is a cluster-B personality disorder whose essential features are a pattern of marked impulsivity and instability of affects, interpersonal relationships, and self image. The pattern is present by early adulthood and occurs across a variety of situations and contexts.[1]

Other symptoms may include intense fears of abandonment and intense anger and irritability, the reason for which others have difficulty understanding.[1][2] People with BPD often engage in idealization and devaluation of others, alternating between high positive regard and great disappointment.[3] Self-mutilation and suicidal behavior are common.[4]

Answer 4

I should know this, but describe "borderline" personality disorder. Are you talking multiple personalities or something like sociopathic personality disorder?

Wasn't Margot Kidder found wandering naked somewhere a few years ago? That could be an example. (For you young-uns, she was the original Lois Lane in the original Superman movies back when). Probably also a lot of the silver screen stars. Vivian Leigh had nervous breakdowns.
