I also learned through this website that I was DPD and went to my therapist and mentioned it to her. She said she didn't like to label people because I may use it as an excuse to not grow. What helped me was to journal each definition and to see how severe each trait matched me. Then I looked at them to where I am now and have seen my growth. It also made me more determined to break through some things than to hang onto them and use it as an excuse. Don't let the definition of DPD keep you stuck
