The official DSM IV criteria are available and define the disorder. There are similarities with many disorders, but to me the "trapped" or "cornered" animal instinct inappropriately kicking in is the key.
Without stress borderlines have inappropriate mood swings, chronic anger, and emptiness. Under stress, dysphoria (anxiety, rage, depression and despair) and other psychotic problems occur. Patients can have both the BPD and other disorders.
