Do You Think You Have BPD? Let's Talk About It

It is my understanding that most (if not all) people with BPD have childhood trauma. If you have symptoms of BPD and can’t be examined by a professional, I would suggest reading a book on the subject, so that you can get more detail about BPD and what life is like with the disorder.

Very much so.

I had a very traumatic childhood, honestly my whole life until a few years ago. There really isn't a test for bpd that I'm aware of, it took me until last year to be diagnosed. I was slapped with bipolar in my teens and told everything else was just a symptom of that. I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what it was. Bpd is hard, and if you have suspicions I would see a therapist who specializes in bpd. A lot of them won't take bpd patients, I guess because there's no real way to manage it beyond treating the symptoms and behavioral therapy.
