I had a conversation with my new Nurse Practitioner after she asked me questions about my past. My BPD was never officially diagnosed, there was just a pin in it, but since I was first screened for it, I claimed it. She told me, based on my trauma, it makes sense why I behave the way I behave. It's less of a personality disorder and more of accumulated trauma responses from a learn learning how to be an adult with no guidance. It makes sense. It made me weep. I feel more clarity.
Every single person I've ever met with BPD has experienced this. I think it has to do with the way we process things, typically very black and white thinking. When we are feeling bad, we are worse than we've ever been. But when we are feeling good, it's like nothing was ever wrong. Makes things very difficult, but it doesn't mean we can't change the way we think through treatment and mindfulness.
One of my coping mechanisms is research, and BPD is like my main research topic, so I know a little too much about it. Feel free to reach out to me if you want š
