My therapist told me last week, as I brought up these two threads (we normally dont talk labels), is he sees more PTSD than BPD symptoms in me. That shocked me. I have BPD and I know the symptoms overlap mainly in PTSD criteria F but I honestly thought I had more BPD then PTSD.

Reasons are I have VERY extremes of all emotions, no middle ground, I explode into blind rages, I cant regulate emotions or tolerate distress (which is why DBT is wonderful for me and BPDers in general) but I guess PTSD has those symptoms too.

It just shocked me because I was quickly diagnosed BPD even before my therapist knew why I was really there and then PTSD came a few years later and I have all but 1 BPD symptom but they do overlap so its possible, I just didnt realize it or see it.
