I have not been officially diagnosed with BPD as I am 17, but the professionals in my life believe I have it. For a long time, I completely denied any possibility that I could have BPD, as I had a very misconstrued view of its nature. I've only recently actually looked into what BPD actually is and I felt, for the first time in my life, like there was an explanation for my experiences. Something I'm wondering about is the trauma aspect of BPD. I'm aware that there are cases in which there has been no trauma, but recent studies (at least that I've seen)  have seemed to indicate that trauma is almost necessary for BPD. I do not have trauma of any kind, so I am a bit confused about my (unofficial) diagnosis. Any help/research/input is greatly appreciated!
