How did you come to know that this was your diagnosis, what signs led you and/or your therapist to it?

I was in therapy for complex PTSD or I should say I sought out treatment for complex PTSD that was diagnosed by a p doc and then learned from my treatment plan from my t that I had PTSD and a PD NOS. my former t and I would talk about which traits were bpd and which traits were narc. Now I understand them to be fleas from my FOO however I think I will always be a highly sensitive/emotionally sensitive person. I don't think that "borderline" part of me will ever go away. Tbh a college teacher first identified me as HSP long before my c PTSD diagnosis. In high school a t identified me as having some kind of adolescent identity problem however that I believe was due to the neglect I suffered although it sure didn't help my developing personality! I hope that's useful.
