Specializes in Psychiatry

Borderline PD: Yes, depression, cutting, and suicidal behavior are all common with borderline personality disorder. You might ask your therapist and psychiatrist about dialectical behavior therapy -- it can be very helpful for dealing with painful emotions in healthier ways. It can be done in conjunction with regular individual therapy, and has specific skills that you learn. Good luck to you.
