Never got diagnosed with BPD but my doctor wanted me examined for it due to my sh. But I was actually self injuring as an OCD compulsion to ‘fix’ or ‘make up for’ my bad intrusive thoughts. For example I would have a thought like ‘what if I want to hurt my brother with this knife I have right now’ or ‘what if I lied to and manipulated my friend’ and then I would sh as a way to punish myself for the thought and ‘prove’ I didn’t mean it.

Majority of self harm is a maladaptive coping strategy which is managed privately by the individual and rarely comes to the attention of medical or MH professionals

I've struggled with SH since I was 14, I'm 26 now and finally hit one year free of it just a month ago. ironically I did end up getting diagnosed with BPD 3 years ago, not that it helped much

I had no idea that it was a “BPD exclusive” kind of thing. I’ve never heard of that 😭

I self harmed from age 12 until 29. When I was at an eating disorder residential facility, the therapist met with me one time and diagnosed me with BPD. I’ve come to learn it’s not that but is CPTSD. The stigma and lack of care that came once I got the BPD diagnosis was crazy. It’s still in my chart and therefore still happening, which to me is bonkers.

Can you do a video talking about misconceptions of BPD? It’s so stigmatized and it makes people hate us for no reason

I had a psychiatrist try and diagnose me with bpd in our 2nd session bc I had self harmed as a 14-15 year old (I was 20 at this point) and I told my therapist that I had been working with for years and he was just like…..yeah no I don’t see it there is so much more to bpd and you just don’t meet that.

When I took my psych evaluation, they said that I had borderline personality disorder, but then my psychiatrist told me no I didn’t and it was all because of my SH

You know full well that in clinical practice that this isnt the case and is a broad generalization

I was extremely, extremely lucky when I was found out. I was 16, had been ongoing for almost four years. I often spent time with my bestie, and her mom was a medical doctor and actually the one who found out initially. Not a mental health professional, but could and did say that I acted normally most of the time and she thought something might be wrong at home. Probably a reason why I never got the BPD label and was treated okay when I went for medical treatment, she also told me that I could report poor treatment and get second opinions. Even fumbling with a lot less understanding (this was 20 years ago), it was a huge help.

My psychologist always forgets is sh and when i told her i think i might have bpd she just said no i don’t and i should forget about it. She asked if i sh half an hour later and i told her yes, but she still refused to listen to my bpd symptoms

There’s a pretty high chance I have it because my mum is diagnosed and I have a lot of traits and I’ve been told I have traits

I,was told I had a borderline personality organisation according to Kernberg. Turns out, I don't have a pd, but DID and cPTSD. Misdaad and treated as if having a pd for years.
