Sorry, bro. My sister is bipolar and we are going through similar things. I'd recommend a psychiatrist and maybe even a separate therapist.

OP's daughter has Borderline Personality Disorder, a whole different animal and never easy to deal with.
As mentioned already, Dialectical Behavior Therapy is the treatment of choice. I don't prescribe meds, but a Clinical Psychopharmacology text I have suggests a combination of an SSRI and an atypical antipsychotic to treat the dysphoria, mood instability, and impulsivity. Combinations mentioned include paroxetine with risperidone or fluoxetine with olanzapine. For any med options go through a psychiatrist and not a primary care or other family doctor when considering these meds.
Good luck
