I've been mentally unwell for most of my life and I thought it was just depression but recently I heard someone mention BPD and decided to do some research and I have most symptoms. I was just wondering how you knew you had BPD and when to reach out and get a diagnosis.

ps. I'm not self-diagnosing and im planning on seeing a therapist but im in lockdown due to covid and can't right now, hearing other's stories would calm my nerves in the meantime.
