She read the criteria for the disorder and as she read on I could see qualities compatible with who I am but immediate denial. I did NOT want tl br labeled with another issue . Only recently have I allowed myself to research it further and can see how much it fits me. I'm still very upset but can see from childhood how and why this could have manifested as a mechanism and become a disorder in my life. I see a T and a pdoc and now I need to muddle my way through. I feel like I'm suffocating under the stress of everything else and am so angry now that there is one more thing to carry on my shoulders. How do others deal with BPD and also if your dealing with ant other diagnosis at the same time. How do you balance it all? Thank you for reading.
