I’m a guy recently diagnosed with BPD. I’ve been previously diagnosed with depression and anxiety, mainly due to me being embarrassed to admit things to therapists and doctors. As a guy, it’s embarrassing to admit you are a wreck in romantic relationships. It’s embarrassing to admit you can cry and cut and feel intense anger, distress, anxiety over minor rejection by someone you have barely known. Upon meeting someone I like, I fall instantly for the idea of them, what I was shown up to a certain point. I’m so thankful and happy over minor feelings of self-worth, reassurance, and affection. But on the other hand, things that may not even seem like a big deal may absolutely ruin my mentality for hours and days. I feel comforted with a fitting label on my feelings. I feel comforted knowing there’s many, many people around who share so many similar issues primarily created in the mind.
