Hi, and welcome. Everyone is different. You might never have cut before because you didn't know about it, but that doesn't make it not a symptom. Did that make sense? It's also not something that can either confirm or refute BPD, it's just part of the picture if it's there. It's interesting how many of us aren't diagnosed. But as was mentioned in another thread, it does get better with age -- at least that was the consensus in the thread. I know it did for me, and I think it's pretty funny that this horrible, supposedly incurable illness gets better with plain old time, even if it is still possible to be triggered. And yet it seems like shrinks don't know that. That one piece of information could be all someone needs to hang on: it will get better. It really will.
