Can i suggest borderline to my doctor?

Hi.
I find my symtoms (symptoms) very simmular compared to the BPD.
My diagnosis now is depression with suicide and selfharm but i dont know if i can agree to that. i have read a bit about BPD and that the symptoms sounds like someone have read my thoughts.
I do not dare to ask my doctor because i am scared of that he is going to think that i want to be ill. What do you think?
Sorry for my bad english...

Dear jen from sweden,
    Many persons with Borderline Personality Disorder also suffer from selfharm and depression. You may consider discussing your concerns  with your psychiatrist.  If you suffer from BPD you may be taught coping techniques and ways to decrease the intensity of your symptoms.
