Interesting! Thank you. I feel I fit a lot of the BPD criteria except for the issues with relationships part. If I get upset then I will act in wildly erratic ways but I have a number of very solid decade long friendships. My main issue with friendships is actually trying to not let my emotions infiltrate into them and cause havoc. So if I'm upset by therapy then I can't see my friends because I'm exhausted or have a lower frustration level etc and I don't want to act out or bring them down. But then again I can be very anxious that people hate me for no logical reason and always scanning for that. But alot of the other criteria make sense to me. I wonder if complex trauma is the same as BPD or not or what the core differences are...I have a feeling those with complex trauma are generally less erratic and volatile. I'm both of those internally but show very little externally, to the point I get quite sick before someone realises that when I say I'm depressed then I mean clinically so...

How can you figure out what is BPD and dissociation liked to that and what is DID? How do you know you're getting better with the BPD when it's hard to separate from the DID? I'm curious, thank you
