I was told that I go on weird tangents and sometimes act manic.
I know several people in my family that have this problem.
How else can I identify this possible condition of mine, if I do indeed have it?

In my experience people's BPD diagnoses have always been preceded by a lot of severely maladaptive behaviors that lead to a diagnosis. Think hospitalization etc.; I don't know of anyone with no prior mental health crises who thought "I'm worried I might have BPD" went to a professional for a diagnosis, and received one. It might happen but it's highly atypical.
