OK so for a long time now I have been looking at the BPD symptoms and have thought that I seriously had a strong possibility of having it. After looking at the symptoms over and over and over again, I realized I have Eight of the  nine symptoms. So now I have a psychiatrist and I got diagnosed with BPD. He said he was diagnosing me with it due to my history of self harm and binge eating and I forgot what else he said about that. But he also said that it’s mild and I asked him why is that and he said because I don’t have all the symptoms but I am really confused about that and I was too anxious to ask him more about that. I’m so confused of how I can have mild bpd. In my mind it makes me feel like I’m in valid because I feel like there’s no way possible that it’s just mild. The thing is is that as far as my anger goes I’m self-aware what I’m doing but the same time I can’t control my anger or my feelings or emotions. He said that I am self-aware which I agree with but I’m really confused as to why I just have mild bpd . I feel so lost and just need advice
