Getting appropriate help is very expensive. And sorting through the tons of opinions and options can be further debilitating. In the midst of crisis conflicting messages only further complicate the problem.
I encourage you to cut off as many varying opinions and advice from others as you choose a course for therapy. I encourage you to change your environment and personal associations.
I also encourage you to consider dumping the boyfriend in your search for appropriate counseling, his words are insensitive and indicative of verbal abuse. You don't need anyone covertly verbally and emotionally abusing you. BPD women are very often involved with abusive men that take advantage of the dynamics associated with the illness. Such as a failure to set and enforce personal boundaries.
