I have always been identified as having Major depressive disorder most of my life but my new Psychiatrist gave me this new diagnosis. The PTSD I agree with but Borderline freaks me out. There seems to be such a stigma surrounding Borderline and the way it is written in DSM makes it feel like it's either your own fault for being borderline and it doesn't take into account the early childhood trauma which led to the disorder.
It's just a name, a way to categorize things and hopefully treat the right disorder. ANyone else struggling with Borderline?
