I'm not a doctor, I do have a degree in Medicinal Chemistry and have studied Pharmacology for over 10 years. I think before you get a mood stabiliser you need to get a diagnosis or is the clue in your username? There is an excellent website by a guy called Dr Phelp at http://www.psycheducation.org/ I would read through that, as it applies to mood stabilisation from all angles whether its bipolar or borderline. As far as I am aware the best medication if you are borderline is carbamazepine, but as I said take a look at that site. Also make sure you tell your doc about the self-harming, and remember (as I once forgot, no lots of times forgot, due to meeting nasty and ignorant healthcare prof's), that most people genuinely want to help.
Take care.
