NO!! Any body who actually takes medical advice from people on this site is an imbecile.

Nobody can diagnose you with anything over the web. In order for a proper diagnosis for a personality disorder, you must be seen by a psychiatrist.
As the last of the links will attest to, you must have five of the following symptoms to be diagnosable with BPD.
1. frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment. Note: Do not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5.
2. a pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation.
3. identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self.
4. impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating). Note: Do not include suicidal or self-mutilating behavior covered in Criterion 5.
5. recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior
6. affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days).
7. chronic feelings of emptiness
8. inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)
9. transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms
But still, an actual diagnosis must come from a psychiatrist. If you suspect that you do have BPD, you can get help from a counselor and psychiatrist.

It relies upon. with somewhat of success the therapist become straightforward and independent contained in the evaluation. you ought to in nice condition a minimum of 5 of 9 criterion and the disturbance must have a heavy result on elements of functioning and be clinically determined after age 21. There also must be a lengthy status progression of the behaviour precise besides as ruling out different subject matters that would want to mimic BPD.

Mental health professionals claim that they have trouble diagnosing BPD. I cannot imagine that someone else could think that he could correctly do that. People like to sound important by throwing around medical terms. It means NOTHING and hopefully it will mean nothing to you after you really think about it a while. DON'T WORRY.

You are assuming that this person is sane to begin with. That's a pretty big leap of faith on here. So, no, I wouldn't worry if I were you!
