I've been going to therapy on and off since I was 13, I'm now 27. I've been diagnosed with PTSD, depression, dependent &amp; avoidant personality disorder, but never before BPD. 
 
I definitely feel like I recognize certain things, but not so many that I feel like it fits me. And I did have that feeling with the other diagnoses; it was like a eureka moment every time. The therapist's opinion(I've only seen her once) was that I have suppressed my anger, desire to hurt myself, impulsivity and fear of abandonment. 

To a degree that may be true, but honestly, that seems like a lot to suppress! The only things that ring a bell are dissociation, a little bit of black and white thinking and depression. 

A lot of the other symptoms I only recognize because of traumas and how they made me react at the time. But these aren't things I feel like I live with every day, not at all. Is it possible to suppress it so much that you can't even feel and experience your own BPD? 

I guess I'm curious to know if anyone can relate to this.

Hope this doesn't count as asking anyone to diagnose me, btw — that's not what I'm asking, to be clear. Just asking if anyone people doubted or struggled with their diagnoses and whether that was rightfully so or turned out to be nonsense, mostly so I don't have to feel so alone in all of this!
