Psychiatrist told me I have Borderline Personality Disorder today. Unsure how to take this. Like wtf am I supposed to do? I've heard it's not treatable

Proceed to use it as a crutch and excuse for your shitty behaviour for the rest of your life. Like most with bpd

I don't use it as an excuse. I've stopped going out often to stop exposing my behaviour to people. And when I do go out I'm off my ass on sedatives so I don't lash out at others

shit sucks op, prepare for a life of enormous and constant disappointment without having any remedy.
I have it too and I pretty much gave up on dating, going out, and pretty much anything else because it's difficult enough for me to focus on keeping my decent job so I can have a roof over my head.
It could be worse though, sometimes suffering is better than being dead

Probably would have been better to ask the Psychiatrist, chief

Continue in therapy until you can control your behavior better. It is very possible to be a well functionable borderline, and insight to your own behavior is a major step in the right direction.
DBT, mate. The best sign is that you're willing to try to help yourself.
It is VERY treatable! A PhD who actually has BPD herself created a special kind of therapy for it called Dialectical something… it's NARCISSISTS who are incurable.
Haldol and a life of living inside
If you have any empathy for other people never date anyone else. I hurt so many people and myself. I don't know anything and it's cold

Not the same. While OP can treat his symptoms they will never go away.
