I’ll start by saying I’ve never been diagnosed with BPD, but I am 23 and have experienced all of the symptoms and known of the disorder since being young. I’ve always been too scared to bring it up with doctor because I feel like they’re going to think I’m over reacting and being ridiculous. I’m really anxious about them thinking I just want to be diagnosed with it for attention or something, but I really do struggle with the symptoms. I’m currently being treated for major depression but I’ve never mentioned my symptoms of BPD. I’m wondering how to bring it up with my doctor? If not - do you think I could just cope with the symptoms without a diagnosis?
