I have recently been diagnosed with bpd and ptsd and the diagnoses was a very tough pill to swallow but I was very glad to be diagnosed because it gives me some closure and will allow me to work on myself so I can live a better and more fulfilling life but when I try and tell family members and close friends a lot of them seemed to laugh at more or claim everyone gets diagnosed with bpd and that it isn’t real. I know their thoughts and opinions shouldn’t affect me this much but it still hurts.
