I apologize in advance if this is stupid question, I'm sure this has come up before on the sub. But I've recently come to the realization that I may have BPD at the age of 29. I asked my therapist yesterday if I should go into a formal diagnosis and she said she anticipated me asking about BPD. She stated that I definitely have BPD traits. I plan on bringing it up again next session I may have traits of BPD or a mild case of it I am unsure still. I've struggled with PTSD and anxiety pretty much my whole life. I've been in and out of therapy my whole life and consistently have been going for the past couple years or so. I've had some pretty turbulent relationships in the past, looking back at it things all the sudden it seems very clear to me. I grew up with a very black and white thinking. And only in these recent years have I noticed a change in my thinking that the world is more nuanced. Every article I read says that the disorder is very treatable with DBT. I guess I just don't get where all the stigma comes from. It makes me very happy to know that I may potentially be on the road of getting a diagnosis for my mental health but at the same time I see so much hate against people with BPD. I know I haven't been the best partner in the past, I've blown up at friends before. I've had anger issues, I guess my heart just goes out to people with BPD with more severe cases. I wish we had a better grip on promoting mental health in our country.
