I'm just wondering how many of you are also diagnosed with a personality disorder, and if so, which one? I know there's a handful of bipolar+BPD, but I was wondering if there were many others?
In a lot of ways.... I'm fairly sure that I have one. Not a doctor so wouldn't know for sure. But I keep getting scared that my T is going to bring up the possibility of it. So I thought I would try to get myself prepared for this conversation - a lot of the work he has me doing is based around anxiety and really low self-esteem, and I don't get at all how it's supposed to help because it just makes me feel HORRIBLE whenever I fill out any of it.
So I guess I just want to hear your thoughts on things.
Btw: my own self-guess for what personality disorder I fit the most? It probably isn't noticeable to others because I am so good at faking and trying to meet expectations.... but Avoidant fits me pretty much to a T. I just don't act shy; I learned how to hide that years and years ago.
