I also suspect that the source of some symptoms that get labeled as Borderline Personality Disorder have a hormonal source, and that with perimenopause and menopause, some of these change or subside. That is why some researchers seem to think a diagnosis in the bipolar family is more to the point, as there has been some connections found between hormones and bipolar illness, and some of the borderline symptoms seem an awful lot like some form of mood cycling.
