I'm not looking for a diagnosis..just curious about obsessive-compulsive behaviour and BPD?

How much obsessive-compulsive behaviour is considered part of borderline personality disorder? When is it no longer just the disorder, but more along the lines of a dual-diagnosis with obsessive-compulsive disorder?

I was diagnosed with BPD years ago. Haven't been diagnoses with OCD, but was interested about the relationship there. I am very compulsive about shopping and sex, and mildly obsessive in my organizing (everything is organized MY way, even if it doesn't look like any normal organization). The compulsive sex has stopped, though the feelings are there. I am and will remain loyal to my fiancee. But my compulsive shopping remains bad...I shop when I'm bored, when I'm feeling depressed, when I'm feeling happy...and I spend money on frivolous things (like new toys for my cat) that I should be using to pay bills and buying important things like food.

But anyway...how much is too much when it comes to borderline personality disorder?
