Deli -
I also find CPTSD very interesting. I first read that it is similar to Borderline Personality Disorder but that BPD includes more of a diffuse sense of self and other. Then I read that it may also include a diffuse sense of self and other when they are considering it for the new DSM.

I wrote the above paragraph before I read what you wrote here:

as for myself, i had never heard about c-ptsd when i started treatment, and i related to a lot (but not all) of the criteria for borderline personality disorder, so bringing that up with my pdoc was what led me to be diagnosed with this instead.

I don't know about you, but I find BPD to be an abomination of a label. It is actually traumatizing to feel like I fit in this diagnosis because of how these patients are regarded. I also have a diagnosis of BPD/PTSD (I'm not sure if my T indicated CPTSD or not, but it fits). Now that there is more information about BPD I would love to see this label gone.
Take care!
