Do I have BPD if I don't have an FP?

Okay but like... Can I really have bpd if I don't have an fp and my abandonment issues aren't extreme? Like I have almost all of the other symptoms, internalized but still.

BPD is different for everyone. Totally possible you can have it! But it can also be a sign of another disorder as well

I personally don’t and I have MANY BPD signs . Regardless of favorite person. I’ve maybe attached to people easily, but most of the time I’m a empty void. Just like with every mental illness we won’t all have the same symptoms. Like with my OCD for example I don’t obsess about certain types.

Yes! You only have to have 7 of the 9 traits of BPD to have BPD. :) Also, symptom severity varies from person to person. So even though your abandonment issues aren't extreme, they may still be present

Is it 7 now? I thought you had to have 5 of the 9 traits
