I know I have BPD, however, I feel like my experience is a little different than the stereotypical portrayal of BPD. This is what made it difficult for me to be diagnosed. I’m not volatile when it comes to my emotions, it’s more of an internal explosion rather than external if that makes sense. I just recently began to externalize it now that I know healthier ways to do so. 
Is anyone else like this? I get really upset when people tell me “you don’t seem borderline”. I feel like my experience is being invalidated because my behavior isn’t as externalized as others are expecting it to be.
