How did you know you had Borderline Personality Disorder?

Question

I am almost certain I do but I'm afraid to tell anyone. What were the symptoms that made you suspect? I feel like I'm wasting away. I haven't felt connected with the world in a long time.

Answer

Not bpd but a lot of my friends are - def see a psychiatrist who can diagnose you. BPD shares many of its symptoms with other mental illnesses and it can be difficult (even for the doctor) to differentiate between bipolar ii, bpd, ptsd, and other personality disorders. And the treatments for these are very very different so you wanna be absolutely sure.

if you are: intensive DBT is what you wanna do to treat it.

Answer

Honey, I'd suggest you see a psychiatrist. You never know. I thought I was bipolar, my psychiatrist told me I have traits of BPD. Severe mood swings was the biggest thing, also fear of abandonment and past self harm and eating disorder... please seek help and realize you are not alone!

Answer

I was told I do. By a dr.

Answer

I had suspected I had it for maybe 6 months or more pre-diagnosis. The main things that stood out for me were unstable relationships, adoring people then detesting them, and my intense emotions. 
I've made a group on here for BPD, feel free to come join!
