Okay, if SI is the only reason your T is labeling you BPD, then you need to get a new T. SI is a symptom of various mental illnesses, not just BPD. I had a pdoc who tried to label me BPD because of the cutting, so I got a second opinion and the second opinion was like, heck no, you don't have BPD. I have severe chronic depression and PTSD, and the PTSD often can present like BPD.

Anyways, remember that YOU are NOT your diagnosis. Your identity is not based on your diagnosis. That's just an illness that you have but it doesn't make up who you are as a person.
