bpd
I haven’t been professionally diagnosed with bpd, but I’ve done research and online tests and I really feel like I have it…I can’t go to a therapist or psychologist without my parents knowing because I’m underage but I can’t tell them either, they wouldn’t take me seriously.
@greenCup7121 It sounds like you can't really do anything about having BPD until you're old enough to be independent of your parents.
How does it affect you? What's the worst thing about it, in your experience? Maybe you get support from listeners here that will help you in limited ways, even though it will not be as good as professional help.

I get really strong mood swings, I could be doing really well and suddenly I get a feeling of numbness and emptiness and I get really anxious. My sense of self changes a lot..I have difficulty committing to anything whether it’s a relationship or future plans. I have impulsive behavior, splitting, I constantly feel like the people close to me will abandon me, I have trust issues..uhhh what else…I overthink even the smallest things..and my thoughts and feelings are so messy I have trouble understanding them myself, sometimes it’s really hard to control my feelings but sometimes I try to over-control them, like I won’t let myself feel certain feelings.. It’s really hard living like this and it’s super mentally draining. I wouldn’t think much of it but I’ve felt like this for years and surely that’s not normal?
@greenCup7121 , i understand what youre going through i am in a very similar situation and have been for a while - if you cannot turn to parents / professionals for help, having someone close to you like a partner or a friend who you can talk to helps. i have a partner + showing bpd symptoms make things hard. but if you have someone you can try work things through with it helps a lot. i am also here if you need as i have experience in what you are talking about !!
