Personality Issues

Ok, where to start i have been treated for anxiety, depression, ocd, panic attacks and ptsd for years but it never workerd i felt like i total failure. Well recently my therapist got me to fill out a questionaire for personality disorders, he never directly told me the results, well he said i had trouble recognizing and regulating my emotions and i lacked a sense of self, i am also very sensitive to all types of critisicm, or rejection or people leaving me, i constantly analyize my therapist as to what mood is he in or how he is reacting to me, i do get bad mood swings and depression and suicidal but i don't consider myself to be extreme enough to have bpd but i seem to fit the criteria, i asked him recently about the questionaire and he said it showed him that i had serious personality issues but he never said the words bpd so i wonder am i really, i am confused, someone also told me that if i was bpd its unlikely that he would tell me. He now wants me to see a psychotherapist now instead of him because he said he can't help anymore but i don't want to leave him, he is the only person i have ever trusted and i feel let down, i don't know how i will cope in psychotherapy without him. I just wanted to ask does anyone think i sound like i have bpd i am very confused and it stresses me out alot.

firstly calm down and dont stress. remember you therapist is just another person, and prehaps he has refered you on because like he said he cant help anymore.
firstly id like to tell you something about myself.
i have also over the years had anxiety, depression, manic derpression, panic attacks, post tromatic stress disorder. ocd biapolar and type 2 personality disorder.t
so i know exactly what im talking about, and i understand how you feel completly.
most of   these illnesses are caused by childhood trauma, you have chsen a different path than me, it sounds as if you are humble and meek and thoughtfull. i have to put allot of efforts into my thoughts, before i speak, because im rude and dont care what people think of me.
my advice is..try the new therapist..they might help...and remember the only person that can help you...is you, your mind is the most powerfull thing you have, and you are the only person that can make or break you. believe in yourself and work hard, im sure underneith all your problembs your still there, just waiting to come out..
im always here if you need a chat or want to unload ok...
and i want to help...because it makes me feel good to do so....

Thankyou for replying to me. You have alot of issues too how do you cope? Most of the time i cope ok on the surface i look mostly fine but underneath is a different issue. I know i probably need the other therapist but i don't know how i will cope without him he is the only person i trust. I have alot of issues that come from my childhood and my therapist said i need to face them first and he can't help me with that he said i need psychotherapy and he is cbt.
You are right i am quiet and people sometimes take advantage of that, i can be rude though sometimes so i have to watch my temper at times.
Thanks for your help, i am here too if you want to talk. Take care
