I'm 28 and just got my official diagnosis of BPD/EUPD. I'm not sure if others felt the same way but I feel somewhat relieved and happy that I have a category to match my symptoms. For so many years I've had all these symptoms that didn't fit into any other diagnosis I have. I felt like I was just a messed up individual with no direct explanation of myself. After years of research I came to learn about BPD and it was the only thing that matched up with the symptoms that didn't fit with anything else. Before, I felt that I couldn't work on myself without knowing what it was I was experiencing. But now I know it's BPD I can learn how to better manage and learn healthy coping strategies from others. This is huge for me, I feel like I finally fit in somewhere alongside others that understand. I know there's a lot of stigma around BPD and a lot of negativity towards people that have it but I can deal with that. I no longer feel like I'm in limbo with what's wrong with me.
