My niece was diagnosed BPD. That's when I learned about it. I started reading, trying to figure out what is wrong with me. I've seen a dozen docs over a dozen years or more, one diagnosed PTSD, one diagnosed MDD, most diagnosed nothing and rolled eyes at the others' diagnoses.

I approached the last psychiatrist about the possibility of BPD. He said BPD traits, but did not diagnose.

Now this new psychiatrist, who I have seen twice, said 'emotional disorder'.

I really want to understand the truth.

I really deal with a few extremely difficult people who are my triggers, otherwise, I'm pretty good.
