the term borderline personality disorder and why I dont' like it

I'm really struggling tonight... I was diagnosed with SMI when I was 21...I have multiple diagnosis... I wasn't diagnosed with PTSD until I was 24 ... I have physical issues and all I do is see dr and therapist and take meds and cook and eat really healthy foods. I use to go to school and I use to be a very spiritual person. I started having seizures 8 years ago and I don't have any where near the life that I did...I miss it. I haven't dated in 3 years! I can't leave my house anymore and I started to develop agoraphobia and now I have to have home therapy I still love to cook and read Whitman but I feel like a part of me has died. I thought that maybe I was just misdiagnosed or something like that like I had Asperger's or maybe even more of a brain thing like MS but my neurologist said that nothing was showing up on the MRI. I just miss the feeling that zest for life the days when I would wake up and pull back the curtains and welcome the sunshine. I don't feel like I'm disordered as much as I'm feeling fragmented and too tired to put the pieces back together. There is just so much trauma that you can attempt to recover from in one lifetime. Thanks for listening

I was diagnosed with BPD after I was diagnosed with PTSD

This is really good. Idk what trauma or series of events could have caused this although I can pretty definitively point to a lot of minimizing behavior toward my feelings as a child and through my teen years. I really can buy into the idea that I've always been pretty sensitive to my surroundings thinking all the way back to my youngest years. I really think it all stems from things far earlier than the teen years. I do believe that people are pre-disposed to this given the right circumstances.

I've seen more than a few people state that they are both PTSD and BPD. I think that it does happen somewhat commonly.
