Just seems more like a BPD thing to me, and I felt like they just didn't want me to have the stigma or something. I definitely have the righteous blinding rage issues of a borderline, though, not just panic attacks, night terrors, flashback experiences, etc. I've also been diagnosed with severe primary vaginismus in the past, too, which is also why I think they leaned towards PTSD, due to the childhood abuse issues. I would rather just accept the BPD label, though, because I would rather get the actual type of therapy I need even if it comes with a lot of stigma. My current pdoc who I have only seen once says she wants to start out just documenting "Episodic Mood Disorder NOS" until she has more time to observe me and make sure she agrees with the BP1 diagnosis.
