Hi everyone. I recently got a BPD diagnosis from a therapist I’ve been seeing, and honestly she’s the first one I’ve been super honest with, so I’m slowly coming to terms with it. 

One thing I always see with BPD is an unstable sense of self. When I was younger (like middle school) I would binge watch a tv show and then pick up qualities of the main character. I can’t tell if this was me emulating qualities I admired, or actually actively molding myself after them. It definitely felt like I could relate to them so deeply, they also felt like a part of me. I’m curious if anyone’s had similar experiences.
