My ex psychiatrist didn‘t believe me that my rage episodes were enough to fit the criteria (I am diagnosed with borderline traits 4/9). Since he already misdiagnosed me with another disorder and was quite invalidating, I am not quite sure if he was right about the rage part. My rage episodes made me destroy stuff, scream at people, hurt myself, threaten to kill myself or threaten to kill someone else one time. Also of course panic attacks, dissociation. I do get angry often, but I am good at masking/don‘t always loose control.
Since he said, it doesn’t happen often enough (every couple of months, so a few times a year), I wondered how this symptom looks for someone who is diagnosed with bpd and fits this exact criteria.
