a question for female/female presenting people who self harm and struggle with mood. does anybody feel like they have been mis-diagnosed with BPD? I have seen this in so many people (especially young girls who have depressive symptoms) as it is the first conclusion the doctors come to without delving into other possibilities? I don't relate at all with the other symptoms of this illness and I really don't want to get incorrect care for my needs as it is just not helping me right now. I am on a waitinv list for an ASD diagnosis assessment and truly believe that this could be the cause of my struggles I've had my ENTIRE life. Anyone else had similar experience?

They mentioned that many symptoms can be similar to ADHD or ASD, which led them to question their BPD diagnosis. Another user was initially diagnosed with bipolar disorder but later found out they had both bipolar and borderline personality disorder. Misdiagnosis can happen, and it's essential to discuss your concerns with a mental health professional to ensure you receive the appropriate care and support for your needs.
