So… I am not diagnosed BPD. However, I am diagnosed ADHD.  From what I’ve learned over the years (and also throughout some of my education) is that some symptoms of ADHD can also be found in BPD,&amp; vice versa. What I’m curious about are the symptoms that may indicate BPD over ADHD.

Let me explain, I will get random strong feelings of distaste towards friends and family members. I’m assuming this is what splitting is like, but since it hasn’t been validated for me, it’s been confusing. Sometimes I think it’s just a stimulation issue, like my friend will say something and I’ll thoroughly disagree with the statement, so much so that it becomes a “disgust” sort of feeling?   It will make me want to run as fast I can from them, like I want nothing to do with them in that moment. But I can never tell if the root of it is from how a thought overwhelms me (in and ADHD way), or more so a sign of splitting.

My question is for anyone on the sub who might share BOTH of these diagnoses.  How did you figure it out? Were you diagnosed with one before the other? Anything you guys can share about your experience I would greatly appreciate!
