i think i might have undiagnosed bpd
i struggle a lot mentally and ive always noticing patterns in my relationships with people. ive started to wonder if its bpd because i watched videos and took notes and i feel like i can reaonate with 5-6 of the 7 main symptoms. i can elaborate more if you have questions but i mostly want to know how you cane to be diagnosed and how you felt prior to your diagnosis. did it feel enlightening once you heard the symptoms to know you belong somewhere. thats what i want from this. of course i dont want to have a personality disorder but if it helps me grow and change and stop hurting myself and the people i want to be diagnosed. thank you for listening you can expand on my prompt and any answers you have can help :3
@compassionateLychee4481 Hi there! I was diagnosed at 14, due to the fact that I was harming myself, had a lack of self image, black and white thinking, fear of abandonment, etc. I was confused and didn't know too much about the disorder back then. If anything, I was so dissociative, I didn't even remember being diagnosed until recently. But now that I remember, it does feel nice to have a name and explanation as to why I feel the way I do! As for how I was diagnosed, I just described how I felt to my psychiatrist at the time.
I feel like I am undiagnosed as well.
