@thesecretestsecretaccoun: I realized I deeply reasonate with bpd traits and symptoms and I didn’t do this because of one TikTok I have done research so I wanna know #bpd #help
You don’t just get a bpd diagnosis. It’s a long process. It’s a personality disorder so they have to get to know you for a long time to see the way things change

Want you to keep in mind that their are multiple other conditions that have the exact same symptoms as bpd, so don’t think it over too much

Hey heads up, they won’t diagnose you till later. They wait until your hormones are less, I have had symptoms my whole life but only recently got diagnosed

Why do you need a diagnosis to define you? Fix the roots, don’t focus on the label

No matter if you can get a diagnosis (probably not i had symptoms my whole life as well but couldn’t till i was 19) but either way you can be doing stuff to help yourself now. I seriously HIGHLY recommend Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. It saved my life a few years ago and has helped me start to find myself. I am diagnosed with alphabet soup and will never pass an opportunity to tell people about this therapy. It was made by a woman with BPD because there was no research on it so she did the work herself to help others. THANK YOU MARSHA LINIHAN

hot take: self diagnosing for mental issues is so people can actually learn about themselves and learn how to take care of their symptoms and treat themselves. in this case its totally fair for you to watch youtube psychology videos and see what advice they can give since you cant really go anywhere else. i hate it when people think self diagnosing is just for collecting a label. thats NOT what it is, or at least not what it supposed to be. if you find out later in life you didnt have bpd but still had treated the symptoms that you thought were bpd yourself, what bad would that do?

i agree with the comments. i turned 18 in december and im just now getting evaluated after knowing for a couple of years. for now, educate yourself more about it and dont be afraid to still use resources/techniques/tips etc. that align with helping bpd even if you arent diagnosed. look into DBT as well! you can request/be assigned DBT without a diagnosis

So if you’re a minor, you’d have to go to a therapist and or a psychiatrist and or psychologist for ATLEAST a year before you can be diagnosed. Because children are still developing their brains. And it could just be hormones. Or even bipolar. So you literally can’t get diagnosed for at least a year.

More context: I’ve been like this all my life before I ever even had periods or went thru puberty and I had to get put in different behavior classes when I did public school, but then my parents switched me to charter school and there wasn’t any classes and now I’m homeschooled.

it’s good to get evaluated by a psychiatrist to determine proper treatment plans, but a diagnosis on paper will do you more harm than good because of the stigmatization surrounding bpd in the medical field. you may have to wait till youre 18 but until then you can keep track of your symptoms, what triggers them, your environment, etc. it will help you in the long run to learn more about how potential bpd (or whatever else it could be) affects you and also what helps you

If truly think that you have borderline personality disorder the best thing to do is probably see a psychiatrist. I don’t think you should self diagnose just saying.

fudgesspud :
hii okay so fact about your endocrine system. your hormones are a key factor in determining if you have bpd or not because theyre super different from those younger than older because theyre different as we age. this is because what you are most likely feeling is simple mood swings, situational personality traits rather then episode kind of traits that mean borderline personality trait disorder

it’s still going to take months to get a diagnosis. i hit all the traits and my therapist still wanted to meet once a week for months just to diagnose me & a lot of others are like that too. it isn’t just like depression

Seek out DBT therapy if you are able to. That is more important than getting the label, and maybe they’d eventually diagnose you
