Im already diagnosed, but i feel like ive had it my whole life. I know theres usually an age limit on getting diagnosed, but i feel like thats just because theres not a lot of information on bpd or child psychology in general. 

The earliest symptoms i can remember are from when i was around 5-6, when my parents were divorced. For the next few years, i was overly attached to my mother. For example, i would get anxious and cry if i lost anything she bought me (even something as simple as school pencils), i would get anxious and cry if we took my step dads car to go somewhere instead of hers, i didnt want to spend the night at friends houses ever, etc.

I experienced "splitting" for the first time when i was around 9 or 10. Basically two of my friends became friends and i was the third wheel. Im still forced to be around one of them and still havent fully gotten over it, so it wasnt just some typical kid drama.
