for a few months now, i’ve had a strong suspicion that i am suffering with BPD. i’ve struggled with my mental health for a long time and everything just seemed to sort of click when i read up on quiet BPD. i believe that i exhibit all of the nine diagnosis criteria. i start therapy soon, and i’m not sure how to go about verifying it with my therapist. should i tell them straight up that i think i may be suffering with BPD? i’m also only 17, and i have heard things about the difficulty of receiving a diagnosis when you’re a minor. i’m curious how you all received your diagnoses, and if any of you happened to be a minor at the time. just so to give myself an idea as to how to go about this. thanks!
