Do you have BDP? How did you realize it?

@CountScrofula i have always had little control over my emotions and I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety for over 2 years. I recently came across an article about BPD and became interested, and when I read the symptoms, I realized I have the vast majority of them

@TheProtectedOfOrion All mental illness kind of relates to each other in varying ways. So extreme emotional swings, fear of abandonment, an ill-defined sense of 'self' or identity - that kind of thing?

exactly. I'm not sure if it's just depression combined with anxiety or BPD

@TheProtectedOfOrion That's exactly the situation my wife was in. The big thing is she didn't actually have emotional regulation issues unless those emotions were like sadness or anxiety. Like no rage or anything. The correct read with her was depression/anxiety with some personality disorder qualities like she could disassociate at times.

That is actually very helpful. I can actually really relate to that, Thank you so much!

Check out this community which is people who have BPD. It was investigating this stuff in detail and just talking with people who have the diagnosis to realize she didn't qutie fit. Maybe you do though?

Thank you so much! I'll look into it and hopefully have a clearer idea of what the issue is
