> It would not surprise me at all that most teenage girls could be considered BPD. I think BPD has replaced hysteria as a one-size-fits-all diagnosis for women.

Yes. Especially young, moody women.

> My brain wont shut down. Mostly it's worries but I also go over events that happenned during the day, regretting that I did this, or didn't do that. I also rehearse conversations that I plan to have with so and so, mostly my doctor. I try to predict objections he might have and figure out how I might counter them. All the while, I am aware that this is stupid and useless but I can't stop.

Yeah, that's GAD.

> My pdoc told me once he would NEVER prescribe benzos for me. He didn't say why but I presume it's because I was hospitalised for a drug overdose (a suicide attempt, with TCAs, chloral hydrate and alcohol but not benzos, mind you).

I suppose your pdoc doesn't know that compared with TCAs, chloral, and EtOH, benzos are really benign.

> I tell him benzos are the only drugs that work for me and he looks at me condescendingly like all I want is to get high.

Jeez. Can I recommend that you start looking for a more clueful pdoc?
