Hi, guys!
I have not been properly diagnosed with BPD, but exhibit many signs and symptoms and have been concerned about the possibility. I endured quite the traumatic event as a small child, and when my family found out about it, my aunt suggested I be put into therapy. Supposedly, my mother had said I didn’t need it and I’d get over the experience as time went on. This being said, my insurance is through my mom, so I’ve been very worried about setting up appointments. I wanted her to have nothing to do with it, and felt she’d question me and make me feel as though this was a stupid route to take. But, finally, I’ve gathered the courage to ask her about it, and she gave me the info I needed, no questions asked. It took me a very, very long time to do this and I’m very excited (yet nervous) about being able to finally talk about my traumas and hopefully get a proper diagnoses and the help I know I need.

I want to clarify I am NOT saying I have BPD, just stating I’ve noticed I go through all of the same struggles and have been suspecting it for a while now. I’m just happy to have the opportunity to obtain proper diagnoses, and to acquire the skills I need to cope better with these struggles.

Thank you to anyone who listened! :)
