I’m from the UK and I have a diagnosis of EUPD. I’ve struggled for a very long time, but the past year I’ve noticed I have very severe anxiety. 

I get extremely paranoid, think everyone is out to get me (e.g. ‘expose’ me, like leaking an old conversation where I’ve called my friend a dick when upset), and every situation I do what my mum calls “catastrophising” - where I think the worst, such as breaking the speed limit once, thinking I’m going to get my driving licence revoked, then I’ll lose my job etc... I basically can’t think logically and rationally about situations. 

I’m just wondering if anyone else experiences this kind of behaviour? I know EUPD encompasses a lot of different emotions, and I’ve always struggled with anxiety to a degree, but what I suffer with currently is like nothing I’ve ever felt before. It was triggered after a crime was committed against me, which leads me to think maybe it’s specifically trauma induced and is separate to BPD... but it could just be another part of the illness that’s coming out to play... 

I know you guys aren’t doctors, but I would appreciate some insight as to whether this sounds like BPD behaviour or not. Thanks!
