Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour. Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.

I have Borderline PD, and I know the symptom. You indeed show some of the symptoms, but there's few personality disorder and mental illness was show the same symptoms.
However, I would recommend;
*ask referal to see a psychiatrist for official diagnosis (so you can get the appropriate help)
*get the book "sometimes I act crazy" which explain Borderline, the reasons and plenty of practical advices for both people affected and people around us. This book helped me so much towards my recovery
Good luck
It sounds like you might want to look at Borderline. Maybe you could take a personality test. This one tests for all personality disorders, but it includes Borderline so you will be able to see. It also can't diagnose you but point you in the right direction.

You also described symptoms similar to Bipolar Disorder. Maybe you should look into that too. Try this quiz, and remember to answer as honestly as you can:

Psychology is so complicated. That is why someone with a psychology degree has to diagnose you and not yourself or anyone else here. There are so many small things that make a huge difference in what you have. I have been studying psychology for a long time because I would like to be a psychologist someday, and I still learn new things all the time. It is unbelievable. I hope that you will look into what I have told you, but also that you don't take them as a final answer.
I hope you will message me if you ever want to talk. I have had lots of confusion over my symptoms too, so I can relate to the feeling. Sometimes it is nice to put a name to your symptoms.
