What does living with borderline symptoms feel like?

I am researching BPD , and every time I search "What does BPD feel like" I see the website say that it feels like "Feeling with no skin" or something like that. However, I feel like it doesn't really have a good explanation as to what a person can or would feel.

For example, does it make sense in your head when you "split"? in regard to something? Like, can you rationalize why you become so polarized on it? Does it ever come off as strange or concerning how fast you were willing to change your opinion

What role does a "favorite person" play in a BPD individual's life. If that person were to leave, what would be the reaction? Is it possible to be calm, or accepting of that person leaving?

Are there BPD "Episodes"? Where they rapidly get worse or better? Can BPD get worse at night?

If there are other experiences you want to share, I really am open to hearing it, I am really curious about these things. Sorry if I could not articulate myself well enough.

Maybe I'm just stupidbut like....well for example I go for a cologne and the cologne is like sea water or whatever, but you check the scent notes and its sandalwood and vanilla. Or you pick up a vanilla scent and it has the vanilla bean on the cover, and vanilla coloring, and its called "Very Very Vanilla" And then you check the back and the top scents are bergamot and idk tea.

I'm not even complaining about there being different scents than teh advertised one, but why is it not the top scent. Also, am I just not able to smell, but why do the perfumes all smell like alcohol?
