I have been operating under the assumption that I have BPD for several years now.  That’s what I was diagnosed with by 2 different psychiatrists.  I know the diagnosis doesn’t really matter, but it kind of does.   Maybe my symptoms changed enough that I no longer meet the diagnostic criteria, who knows I’m not an expert.  But now I have PTSD.

I feel kind of weird about it.  BPD has such a bad stigma, and PTSD is so...acceptable.  But I have basically the same symptom set.  I guess I’m no longer a manipulative attention-seeker.  🙄
