Having that label to the way I feel can be refreshing at times, especially knowing that I'm not alone and making friends who think just like me.

I personally found it easier to manage as I and other doctors thought I had bipolar before which would be out of my control recovery wise so I found bpd as it's able to "heal" in a way with some therapies like DBT easier to accept It doesn't exactly go away mind you but becomes a chunk easier eventually 😅 Main part of it I found difficult was that I have it due to trauma from my upbringing and that sucked But I know diagnosis like these ones can be shocking to many I'm just a bit odd maybe Hope you feel settled about it soon
