need advice on social anxiety and Borderline personality - June 2nd 2015, 01:07 PM

So I started treatment for social anxiety in January of this year .
Im on medication and have been to a psychologists which has helped the anxiety to an extent . Im worried if I possibly have borderline personality disorder aswell though .
Symptoms include
.Constant reassurance my boyfriend loves me .
Sometimes I even test him by pushing him away to see if he chases after me

.very sensitive to criticism and insults .
Im insecure with low self esteem and this often leads to intense jealousy.

. Frequent brake ups and arguements in my relationship
I always feel I need to have the upper hand and be in control of the situation so I make the other person look wrong even if they're not . I have become suicidal and very depressed after a brake up or argument.

. If my boyfriend is late to see me or late to reply to a message I feel very angry and hurt . Ive even ignored his calls and texts for 2 days because he fell asleep before replying to me .

. I never let things go . If my boyfriend has upset me in the past I only need the thought to pop into my head and I lose my temper . This causes a lot of problems because one minute I tell him I love him and the next I cant even look at him .

I know all this is focused just around my boyfriend but I Dont have any friends , I rarely spend time with family and im unemployed so this is the only major relationship in my life right now
Are these signs of bpd or is it because of social anxiety ?
Id also like to add I know my behavior isn't justified and do try control it as much as I can
Symptoms of Borderline personality disorder mention impulse behavior (reckless driving, spending, substance abuse and binge eating ) im usually not an impulsive person I was in my teens but my actions are usually carefully planned to avoid negative reactions from other people
Any advice ?
Ps sorry this post is so long !!
