Either way, we didn't get to any of these diagnoses without experiencing some kind of repetitive traumas so early in life that our little minds couldn't wrap themselves around it ...
By the way, I think you're an awesome dude no matter what your diagnosis!

I told my T I thought I was borderline and she said "I agree". I asked her when she was going to tell me. She said she wasn't sure that she ever was because of the stigma around it. As I have said, it was very freeing to me to finally have a diagnosis. I had been doing all the wrong things to try and get better. Now I could start doing the right things, and I AM BETTER. Not cured by a long shot, but better!!!!
