Realizing I Had Borderline Personality Disorder

There's this YouTube channel called the BPD bunch and they talk about all the criteria associated with BPD everyone that is speaking is in remission from it and they also talk about their experiences and their treatments and how they're doing now. It's really great I highly recommend it

Yes same here! I also get obsessed with people.. I’m quite manipulative too. I wish I was normal!

I had never heard of it. I was diagnosed by a psychiatrist at a Mental Health Assessment Centre.

When my emotions became too much as a kid I would literally hit myself in the head. That’s just the early stages. I started to realize my relationships were not normal and that I dealt with having fps. I would become super obsessed with this person and all that would matter is them.

Well they told my I had bio polar for years and then a year after a hospital visit my mom tells me that they told her that I was actually BPD and for some reason no one told me.

i did my own research on it for years but was too scared to actually talk to anyone about it. then my therapist and i would talk about abusers of mine and how some of them seemed to be displaying symptoms of bpd from these conversations i saw that my therapist wasn't like. weird about bpd like most professionals are. so i brought up that i have a lot of symptoms for it too. and then they picked up their dsm5, scanned the bpd criteria, and i could see it click into place when they realized i was right lol but yeah around when i was 18 or 19 i was starting to get suspicious that my feelings about people weren't normal. i've also had a long history of SH and self isolation, as well as just really dramatic emotions and mood swings as well. i don't think i brought it up to my therapist until i was about 23 or 24? something like that

Honestly the same, like almost exactly. But I also realized I got obsessed with people easily. I started SH at the age of ten or eleven and it didn't stop
