Medication doesn't really help with Borderline PD, because it is due to how you perceive and behave. If medication is prescribed, it is for other disorders that also exist with BPD, such as depression, bipolar, anxiety, or psychotic disorders. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is designed specifically for the treatment of BPD.
"Clients receiving DBT were significantly less likely to drop out of therapy, were significantly less likely to engage in parasuicide, reported significantly fewer parasuicial behaviors and, when engaging in parasuicidal behaviors, had less medically severe behaviors. Further, clients receiving DBT were less likely to be hospitalized, had fewer days in hospital, and had higher scores on global and social adjustment." (reference below)

There is nothing available over the counter for this disorder. You need to seek psychiatric help as soon as possible. There is medication available to help.

Research the disorder (below) and get a doctor like now.
