Struggling with Intense BPD Symptoms: Seeking Support and Advice

Hey guys, I've recently realized I have Borderline after starting with a new psychiatrist and seeing that literally every thing I read about it matches up to what I experience. It's been incredibly overwhelming, lately I've especially been struggling with intense anger, fear of abandonment, acting recklessly and impulsively, and strong dissociation as well, just not feeling like I'm real or I'm in my surroundings. Not being connected to myself. Some of the previously mentioned things show up as angry outbursts, driving when I'm emotional and when doctors have recommended i don't, negative thoughts, binge eating, eating things that are bad for me in excess, and being so scared people will leave me that it's almost like I'm trying to beat them to it and leave first even though all I want is them to stay. I don't know how to handle any of this, and I'm not sure if it's all BPD but if anyone has experienced anything like this and has discovered anything that tends to help I would love to hear. I do have a therapist and psychiatrist but there just never seems to be enough time to talk about all of my issues so it never feels like quite enough. Sorry for how long this is, TLDR: overwhelmed by intense bpd symptoms and looking for support/advice on how other people manage their symptoms.

I haven't been diagnosed with it yet but if you would like to talk to me about it I am not advised against it it would be nice to have somebody to talk about it with as I am also having issues

I've been diagnosed with it for 7 years and honestly it's awful. I've been managing it pretty well though. It does get better with constant effort
