After seven months with a great therapist, she dropped the bomb today that I also have pretty severe C-PTSD on top of BPD. I had always thought the "forever fight or flight" was also a subset of BPD symptoms, and now I feel even more hopeless and fucked up having one more label that I can't stop putting on myself.

Well, at least it finally makes sense why every other therapist I saw before the BPD diagnosis thought I had severe childhood trauma. I always waved it off, thinking my childhood was normal. Turns out it wasn't so "normal" after all. Now my overly analytical brain is trying to figure out where the BPD ends and C-PTSD begins.

Anyone else have the same?
