What exactly is the difference between regular depression/anxiety and borderline personality disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex question but: I'll try - there are many types of dep & anx. Briefly, dep is like walking thru life w lead boots on & everything sucks; anx is either worry or panic usually & can be exhausting so people describe as feeling "depressed." borderline pd is a long term way of functioning that mostly is about trouble w interpersonal relationships. Google it for diagnostic criteria, but see a therapist to evaluate.
