When I first came here I related to the Borderline Personality Disorder forum as that was what I was told was my diagnosis from my original T I had for 2 years along with c-PTSD but at the time that category was not listed. It came along later. I also would post in the eating disorder forum as I was bulimic. Then my T now had suggested and felt I had DID but brushed that under the rug and just normalizes everything. Keeps telling me there is nothing wrong with me as everyone has parts.
Anyway after years of therapy I feel my symptoms are no longer clear enough to belong to any certain diagnosis. I do not have PTSD nightmares or get triggered into emotional flashbacks as fast and hard as I did. I only throw up a once or twice a month. I feel I do not display any Borderline symptoms to be considered borderline. I was always confused about the DID anyway so I do not belong there.
I kind of hang out in the psychotherapy forum as I am in therapy.
I feeling a little lost.

Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
