Good afternoon :)  
I have a question for people who have been diagnosed with BPD. Is it common for a person to have both C-PTSD and BPD? Or just have BPD without the fear of abandonment? I've been told that I have C-PTSD not BPD but I'm not sure if I should question that.  


I wanted to get some feedback because I had a mental health assessment almost 6 years ago when I was moderately depressed teetering on severe depression. They felt at the time that I had moderate depression and C-PTSD. They didn't think I had BPD because I don't have a strong fear of abandonment. But I fit all of the other criteria to a tee, I can check every box. I can be extremely impulsive and I struggle badly with trying to rein in my emotions. My reactions to situations can be intense, my level of anger is extreme. Then I feel insane guilt later. I've never attempted suicide but have gotten to the planning stages a few times while severely depressed. When I am down I am completely desolate. The first time I heard about splitting I was like, "Shit, that's me".    


A lot of what I have going on could also be explained by having C-PTSD, but something tells me I should dig a little deeper. Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this.
