A member asked:
Can you be diagnosed with borderline personality disorder but not have suicidal tendencies or self harming behaviour?

Yes. Usually not suicidal.

Yes, as the effect of BPD will vary from person to person. Some will succumb to severe depression, or will have more labile emotional tendencies. The diagnosis does not necessarily predict suicide or a tendency to harm oneself.
