So I recently got diagnosed with BPD after getting an initial diagnosis of depression and anxiety a year ago, I found this sub and thought I’d share this here. I’m not sure if this is affiliated with BPD or not but I’ve noticed it’s really hard for me to express myself clearly and say what I mean in verbal context. I’ll have something I want to say in my head it’ll be clear to me but once I’m actually trying to vocalize these thoughts it’s just like verbal diarrhoea. I don’t know if I’m overthinking this, close friends and family have spent so much time with me that (I think?) they understand the points I’m trying to make, but I always feel like I’m not able to actually accurately communicate how I feel. It’s really frustrating because I hear people speak effectively around me all the time and it just makes me overly conscious about my own speaking abilities which just makes me spiral even more. Texting has always been my preferred way of communicating cause I feel like writing things down gives me the chance to review what I’m saying and fine tune it to accurately convey what’s going on in my head.
