Do you have a diagnosis? Or do you want to be diagnosed? What are your thoughts on diagnosis in general?
For me personally knowing that I was borderline was helpful, instead of knowing that I was just depressed. It explained perfectly what was "wrong" with me, but more specifically trying how to learn how to manage it.
Thanks for this!
