I feel like I have BPD, can anyone knew if it was BPD???
So uh
I had this one social media friend of mine who I was in a very unhealthy state of an relationship with, I somehow had ruin her reputation bcus I always got jealous when she's talking with anyone else or got a lot of attention with, I got into that unhealthy state maybe bcus she realizes how obsessive I was for liking her version of a certain character a year ago, and it really ruins her positive reputation of me that she said over a month ago, it's getting worse and worse and I got too emotionally angry, numb and devastated everytime I think about it, I have researched alot of mental illnesses that feels like its similar to how I feel and it incredibly feels like that BPD is the only one that feels like a match, is this actually BPD????
@Mewoowantstoletitallout I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a challenging time. It's important to acknowledge your feelings and seek support. I'm not a mental health professional, but I'm here to listen and offer support. It's positive that you're reflecting on your feelings and trying to understand them better. However, self-diagnosis can be tricky, and it's crucial to consult with a mental health professional for an accurate assessment. They can provide guidance, support, and help you navigate these challenging emotions. Take care of yourself 💙
@Mewoowantstoletitallout Hello! I'm sorry for the rough time that you're having, especially handling intense emotions. No one can say "It's BPD" or "It's not BPD" based on the short post. However, it can be considered. It should also be considered if what you're feeling falls under the normal spectrum of behavior with fluctuations at times deviating from the norm. If you want, we can have a chat and examine what you're going through. While I am a doctor, a diagnosis can only and truly be achieved by a mental health professional who would directly interview you across time.
I'd say try not to look up information and try to find similarities, since many physical issues may present as mental health illnesses (e.g., you may appear to have depression when in fact you might be suffering from iron deficiency anemia, or hypothyroidism). So the primary issue would be setting a "differential diagnosis," rather than a diagnosis. And many, if not most, mental illnesses have criteria that many of us might find within our daily lives. It's the extent or severity that determines if it falls under a mental health disease or not. For example, being happy is normal. Being way too happy, with other symptoms, for over a week becomes "mania." Being depressed at times is normal, but when it becomes chronic and severe, along with other symptoms, for 2 or more weeks, it then becomes "major depressive disorder," if you see what I'm trying to get at. Hope this helps and take care!
