I'm 13 years old and I was offically diagnosed with DMDD and"Borderline Traits". I have an exteme fear of abandonment and it makes me do harmful things to my body (You know where I'm going, IDK how to TW this post so...).  My therapist also says " I won't diagnose you with BPD or Bipolar because those are serious diagnosis and your a minor". SO I guess you can just throw around DMDD diagnosis and give people the same dose of the same medication a bipolar person would get ( I know because my mom is bipolar and got the same dose of the same medication). As a male, especially since I'm transgender, I feel a bit wierd by the femminie sterotypes  of this disorder and I feel dysphoric about how I most likely have it. I also feel like I'm some how seen as both male and female (which also makes me feel gross and dysphoric) because as a male,I feel like my symptoms are at times seen as just rage (that is also part of the teenage thing) but since i'm a biological female, the "it's just pesky hormones" thing also seems to be a problem. I don't think my symptoms are being taken seriously and I also am grossed out by my symptoms (please don't think i'm sexist because I'm not). I am scared of becoming a sterotypical abuser or toxic person. I don't think that about other people with this disorder,but I feel bad because "Its just me thats bad because logic tm".
