I don't mean in technical terms obviously since that varies a lot, but like... how do I go about explaining to my psych that I just went on r/BPD and for the first time in my life I felt like I'm actually seen, and my problems are actually recognized? Because I don't know if I necessarily have specifically BPD but I relate HEAVILY with 95% of the posts I've seen here and the only repeating things I've seen that I don't have are dissociation (I think I don't get those?) and explosive anger. I could just go over a list of symptoms from google and basically put checkmarks on everything but I'm not sure if that helps?

I'm not fixated on BPD and there might be something else that fits my problems more, and although I doubt that, I would still like to get a diagnosis for SOMETHING in that area because there is 0% chance I dont have some sort of identity/personality related disorder. 

Also sorry if I picked the wrong flair, couldn't find something more applicable
