I've been diagnosed for over a year now, but have had checkmarks next to every criteria since my teens (I am now in my late twenties). I have told a handful of people about bpd, and while they have been supportive, I am frequently struggling with these thoughts: 


-What if they don't agree with the diagnosis and are just trying to be nice?

-What if they think I'm just being dramatic and looking for a crutch?

-What if they think I'm just looking for something to blame besides myself? 


Etc.


Do these thoughts hound you guys, too? I don't know how to deal with them. I am confident in my diagnosis and have been doing better since starting dbt for it, but I'm so goddamn paranoid that people don't believe me or something that it makes me second guess myself and my therapist.
