I feel the exact same way as you. I was so scared that having these diagnosis in my records will hinder my career in some way. Medical records ARE private though so no one is going to see them without a subpoena and at that point you've got quite a few other things to worry about. I think if you honestly feel that you can survive without the help, good for you! I was the same way for very long until recently when certain events have caused me to spiral and I needed help.
My advice...don't let it get to that point. Get help before you DO lose control

I no longer qualify for a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, but there will always be my borderline traits that I struggle with especially during times of great stress.


I've been working passionately as a therapist since December 2016
Thanks for this!
