I think all my health care professionals have ruled it out, although it's always been a rule-out diagnosis because of my self injury.
I personally think I at least have traits. Perhaps I control many of the behaviors, so they don't see me that way. But when I was reading Linehan, I was shouting "That's me!!!!"
In a sentence I would say it was emotional lability with slow return to baseline. Or that's my favorite of Linehan's descriptors anyway.
Goodness knows my therapist should see me as frantically avoiding rejection. But in person I come across as more aloof and schizoid or schizotypal, and that's how they write me up.
