Get treatment!: If your borderline personality d/o is getting you into trouble with the police, it's definitely time to get into treatment. You may need both alcohol/substance abuse treatment and therapy for your personality issues. Please see a psychiatrist and/or psychologist experienced in working with these problems. Dialectical behavioral therapy is one approach that can help with emotional storms, etc.
