It was me who asked the therapists about BPD. I learned about it because my niece was diagnosed. She also had raging ADHD from birth, so I’m not sure that wasn’t truly all she has and was misdiagnosed. All these things overlap very much, so very confusing!

One agreed I had traits. One said I had Emotional Dysregulation Disorder (just another name for BPD). I never went back to her a third time since she told me, “You never would have been happy with anybody” (referring to my marriage issues) Is that therapy??? WTH???

So I kept trying new therapists from time to time and didn’t really get anywhere with any of them. Just confusion. Plus, I couldn’t stand to hear myself talk to them, telling them my stories. It pained me to have to pay them to listen to my drivel.

I no longer exhibit traits of BPD IMHO. I think I have c-PTSD and probably ADHD too. Also, I obsess so maybe OCD.
