Hi @sunnydays
Nice to meet you, and welcome to the Forums. You're not only with feeling over tired of being on an intense emotional roller coaster that seems like it's not going to. Remember, this is part of BPD, it's the disorder, it's not you. BPD does not define who you are.
We had a Topic Tuesday a few months ago where we spoke about BPD (We hold Topic Tuesday once a month, and it's when we come to toghether to speak about an issue for a few hours). The night we spoke about BPD, many people such as @Shadow @Raven @Crazy_Bug_Lady shared the experiences with BPD. Our guest speaker @BlueButterfly50 has BPD, has done research on it, done treatment, and now facilitates support. It's a testament to things can get better.
Can I ask @sunnydays if you have currently have any treatment?
I'm looking forward to seeing more of you around.
I also like to take the opportunity to the 'Friday Feast'. It's when the community gets together over a virtual meal and hangs out with each other. It could a great opportunity to mingle with some members on here. It'd also be great to get know you too! 
Hope to see you there!
CB

Maybe it is stress. I dont know if there are theories about its causes beyond childhood issues.
I just did an online test and scored as if I had severe BPD. I am not sure about my diagnosis
