I was diagnosed after lots of different types of trauma and felt the BPD experience aligned a lot with my own. Therapy helped significantly. However my therapist believes I was suffering with trauma not BPD. The BPD traits are still there, they just get more manageable at times. I don’t know what’s wrong with me and I feel overwhelmed. I was never able to just fit in socially and was always incredibly sensitive even when I was little. It took me ages to have friends and feel happy even at primary school but my main traumas began at 11. I relate to traits from BPD and autism so much. Is there an overlap? I don’t think I have autism. I have traits from it though and apparently that’s common with trauma? Is it possible I don’t have anything wrong with me except for the impacts of trauma? I feel I’m barely holding it together constantly and have had suicidal thoughts and an inability to cope on and off for years. Quiet BPD resonates with me too. Idk, I’m just so overwhelmed today with it all and I don’t feel like I understand what is wrong with me enough to combat it
