Hi. I've had a Bipolar diagnosis for a few years now. My triage team have referred me to a Spectrum intake clinic this Friday for a comprehensive assessment for borderline personality disorder by Drs and psychiatrists. I'm just going to take it as "one more label" if I do come out BPD (sounds like a pregnancy test). I can relate to abandonment. My biological mother left when I was two or there about. And from what I know she certainly had issues. I sometimes like to think of her as merely an "egg donor" who passed on some really bad genes to me.
