i think most people have a mix of traits...not sure if you were aware, but since you mentioned you were in DBT because you thought you had some BPD traits, doesn't mean DBT is the only therapy that you could do...alot of people like DBT, i think it's a good program too, but I think it's more for symptom management as opposed to lasting change (i mean to change your inner state as opposed to behavior), psychodynamic therapy works better for inner state imo...which is also indicated for ocpd.
If you happen to be interested...you seem very curious with understanding yourself, you could google Otto Kernberg, Transference Focused Therapy. He's a well-known expert on Borderline and personality organization/structure. He uses borderline to broadly describe a type of personality organization rather than specific 'symptoms' associated with BPD (if my memory serves me correct, i think i just read this recently).
