I was diagnosed with bpd but I think I actually have ptsd.

I am learning emotional regulation in case of my symptoms, however I believe ptsd is actually what I have.

I did tell the doctor who diagnosed me in 2001? 2002? that I thought I had ptsd and he said, "Oh, Billi, that's just part of your bpd." But the point was my ptsd was not addressed; I was only medicated and intimidated and unbelieved, which made me even worse and more untrusting and did NOT address my issues.

thanks for this thread.

I had to self-diagnose myself because no one so far has believed me (in the helping field).

and it (my self-diagnosis) feels RiGHT.

Because I am recovering.
