i got diagnosed w bpd by a psych about a month ago now—when i first diagnosed it felt like finally putting on the right prescription of glasses; finally having a name for a rollercoaster (i always suspected i didn’t have just anxiety/depression but didn’t want to self diagnose). 

the point is, i’ve found out recently that abt 3/4 people i know (not my friends by any means, more so friends of a close friend) also have bpd and i’m wondering—is it that common to realize more people have it than i thought? or did my psych misdiagnose (bc i saw them only once for the diagnosis—my therapist (who i’ve been seeing for 7+ months) didn’t think it was anything other than anxiety/depression but when i told her abt the diagnosis she agreed)? i don’t think the latter bc bpd def makes Sense. but im also not in my meltdown headspace rn so the “faking ur symptoms” is pretty strong. 

anyone else understand/feel the same? should i worry? or is this just me overthinking lol. (advice is okay!!)
