I've been diagnosed with it in the past, but do not feel that it fits. I barely met the minimum criteria, and all the same issues are part of cptsd and ddnos, which I do have. I kind of feel that the diagnosis didn't do me any good, and actually made things a lot worse for me, as people suddenly treated me as though it were just a behavioural issue, whereas the problem lies in the traumas I've had to deal with. Since dropping the diagnosis I've done much better.
My issues are that different alters take over at different time, causing me to think that I'm either getting much better or much worse.
Can I ask why you thought of bpd while reading that??
