It's nothing something I can relate to in terms of a particular diagnosis. Though when I was younger I felt very opposite to descriptions of BPD, but I've realised that even though I never present that way, some of my thinking is not dissimilar to what fits a BPD diagnosis.

I think a diagnosis can help in some ways, but they are so far from perfect. There are many ways that I fit the diagnosis given to me...and quite a few ways that I don't. I feel like a diagnosis can give some guidance about treatment, but so much more depends on the individual.

So I think it’s easily possible that someone fits enough of the categories of one diagnosis to be given that particular diagnosis while still being very different from that diagnosis in many ways as well.
