Aspergers & unpredictable/extreme mood swings, multiple disorders?

I was "diagnosed with Aspergers almost 6 years ago. I say "diagnosed" because my therapist at the time decided that I had it within 10 minutes of meeting me by the way I looked and dressed (I dressed differently, I suppose) and the fact that I didn't make good eye contact and was extremely shy and nervous. But I seem to have extreme mood swings lately. I go from happy, to anxious, to angry, to sad within a matter of a couple of hours. I am terribly afraid of being alone. Although I crave more loving relationships (I have a wonderful boyfriend) I'd like more, yet seem to be so afraid of having them that I could eventually push them away and my loneliness becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. I have thought for the longest time that I had Aspergers, but now I have been reading about Borderline. Although I have read Borderlines are manipulative, and I am opposite of manipulative. I am submissive and a big pushover. I let people push me around and talk down to me. That's part of why I become so anxious and angry in the first place. I bottle it up inside instead of standing up for myself and wait until it gets out of control.. How can I get a proper diagnosis? Could I have Aspergers AND bipolar? Or Aspergers and something else? Or is it borderline? Or is it borderline and anxiety and depression all at once? Can you even have 2 or 3 things at once?
Histrionic? Aren't they kind of attention seeking and not sincere at all? Gosh, I just want one of my questions answered seriously for once. Everybody else gets serious, thoughtful answers, I'd like one, too.
