my old T labelled me as BPD (borderline personaility disorder) i read all the things but i can only relate to some of them -

i was going through intense emotional; feelings after beign attacked and getting PTSD as a present from it ...

after the SA as a child i shut downmy emotions - all my emotions for over 40 years .. i was a shadow person - making all the moves but not really existing - i have very few memories of most of my life

after i was attacked - the last time lol - well not actually the last time sigh..but anyway - after - it was like all my emotions came back at once - once i started therapy and some of my memories

i disassociate and lose time

so what im thinking is am I BPD or just damaged cos of the past....

any thoughts?

I think of you more as PTSD.

PTSD, I think.

I too was labeled bpd, but I think I have complext ptsd from abuse and trauma.

I also am trying to view myself now as fixable.

yeah, i have to agree - PTSD. i suffer from complex PTSD and for a while thought i had BPD too, until i read the definition here on PC. i just did not have some of the most serious symptoms of BPD. hang in there and hopefully things will get better.

Similar story for myself.

I was dx'd with BPD a few years ago, and doctors changed the diagnosis to PTSD and major depressive disorder a couple of months ago.

I'm not sure how I feel about the change....personally.
