**I’m not asking for a diagnosis or self-diagnosing, just thought I’d put this out there**

So I’m just wondering if there are any of you who suspected you might be dealing with this and how you approached it with your doctor? Advice?

(Backstory: the other day I saw someone on Twitter talking about their experience with BPD. The more I read, the more I realized I related with the symptoms and it was like someone took a look inside my brain. I identified with every single thing except the substance abuse/anger. I’m scared because I know the stigma associated with it even within healthcare professionals, but I know I can’t live like this forever)
