I need help- I feel like I have a lot of underlying issues like dermatillomania(idk if that's how to spell), or PTSD that are going undiagnosed. I have bad habits that fall under categories of things I just haven't been diagnosed with. for a long time I didn't even know I was diagnosed with BPD (I actually just learned today) and I feel as though I could be bringing these diagnoses up in therapy and learning coping skills for them. I know I can probably just bring it up like this with my psychiatrist but I feel I can't say "diagnose me with this" and it doesn't help that my anxiety makes me second guess if the habits I have are even real or harmful enough to diagnose and treat.

      It's better to go from a standpoint of explaining your symptoms and their distress than to cite any specific disorders. Also that is concerning to hear you only just found out about a diagnosis you were given, but we tend to have to keep up with every single medical record in order to find out.
