While I do not (officially) have BPD, I do have a fair amount of the traits, which is why I decided to ask this.

Are any of you also confused about how legitimate your emotions are? 
I keep doubting myself and questioning if my 'extreme' emotions are actually extreme or if I'm just faking it and trying to convince myself they are (for whatever reason). 

How do I know if I actually feel the emotions, or just (for some reason) want to feel the extremes, or if my head is fooling me?
