I strongly suspect I have the quiet subtype of borderline personality disorder. Can someone inform me on how I can safely confirm this diagnosis? I understand that self-diagnosis can be dangerous, though I don't understand exactly why. What are the risks involved with self-diagnosis that I can avoid? Before anyone asks, I can't afford therapy, so I need to make do with what I can do. I can perhaps afford online therapy, but it would be very difficult on my budget. Help?
