I was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia and many other things while I was in a psychosis episode they thought wasn’t related to cannabis but it definitely was a cannabis induced psychosis. Thought I might’ve had bipolar but nope. One of the intense symptoms of BPD is auditory (and I think some visual) hallucinations which I’ve had some even before my psychosis episode. Afterwards I realised that I had BPD, dbt therapy has helped a lot to calm it down. Apparently it shows up when you’re in a relationship mostly (correct me if I’m wrong) but I’ve been decently stable since quitting weed and doing therapy. Don’t need medications, just therapy, which is BPD I think. Hope this helped maybe??? It’s pretty hard to get diagnosed with BPD since not many therapists are trained for it. My mom is a therapist and since she knows me she pointed out that I might have bpd and to look into it so I did. Strongly believe I have it but since therapy many of the symptoms have lessened.
