So I got a new diagnosis today... Not an official diagnosis just something they want me to consider. I know a little about BPD but not much. I've read about it before to see if it applies to me but I was never sure. So today I'm reading again with a different mindset and I can see some traits but on the other hand the stuff I'm looking at reads like a horoscope... i.e. I think it applies to me but that's because it might apply to anyone reading it.

It said you need 5 or more traits and I think I only have 2 or 3. I don't look at diagnoses as a label but more as a way to guide understanding and treatment... so if it ends up not really applying to me I can still use those traits that I identify with and see if I can get some help... I am SURE they inform my depression.

However: F#@&

And yea I've been looking in the BPD forum.

("F#@&" because even though I don't consider it a label it is something new to deal with today on an otherwise stressful day)
