Well, I am no expert, but I know from my own experience I was misdiagnosed, but not with bpd. However, it is possible to have both. If you have borderline you can learn ways to help yourself in relationships, often that is a very difficult area for bpd patients, however so is PTSD. I am sorry that your having trouble with therapists, I know that problem it can be hard to find a good therapist that you can mesh well with, after all it is important to trust your therapist in order to enter into a good therapy program.

I really suggest that you keep trying, perhaps see if you can find a therapist that specializes in PTSD. You truely cannot diagnose yourself, both bpd and PTSD do require therapy, it truely makes a difference.
