I was diagnosed w BPD like nearly 4 years ago and even tho I didnt freak out or anything it bothered me alot. I researched alot about it to understand what it was and i never felt like i related to the symptoms. I dont have a favourite person or abandonment issues. I told my doctors about it and they say its different for everybody and ofc ik that but i feel so unvalidated yk? like not fitting into the diagnosis i was given makes me feel more like a freak. i also told them i might have adhd but they just said, no u dont, adhd and bpd have overlapping symptoms. and ig thats true. but it always bugs me so much. i cant even go to them and talk about it for the 100th time. plus,when i tried to commit,in my hospital file, it was written bpad and i was shocked. after trying to be comfortable w my diagnosis, to hear that i have some symptoms of bpad and was on mood stabalizers the whole time, it just made me feel so so horrible. idk what to do. im so confused w my diagnosis, i try to understand myself and get better but its so so difficult.
