Interesting mix: There is considerable overlap between bpd and npd in particular. The first step is to confirm and medically treat the bpd. By reducing the radical moods, the need for the self-protective stance of npd will be lessened, making it more amenable to psychotherapy. The constant threat to your sense of self will fade, hence the background anxiety. This should help with the ocd.
