Hi everybody! I have struggled with symptoms of BPD for several years at this point, but I am relatively “functional” and I’m young (20F). My general practitioner did not want to diagnose me with bpd because at the time I had a boyfriend, and I’ve always been able to keep a job and stay in school. My therapist is reluctant to diagnose me because I am so young and she is worried about the stigma. Is it worth pushing for a diagnosis? Right now I am diagnosed with PTSD and I have been told by my therapist that BPD is essentially a form of complex PTSD. I am CBT therapy, and I have tried antidepressants but they never do anything, to the point where I get paranoid that I was placed on a placebo trial. Have any of you gone through this? Should I push for a diagnosis or just wait?
