BPD symptoms

DX'd - Other

I relate to most of them
-> impulse control issues
-> delusions
-> mood swings
-> feeling empty/boredom
-> paranoia

Could I have BPD?

those issues all blend into the spectrum of mental health issues. So just wait like half a year to see how things go.

Diagnosis often changes over time. Important to take the medications and move from there. Listen to and trust your doctors. Donā€™t stress about labels as they often change over time.

Yeah Iā€™m taking the meds as prescribed

People say they arenā€™t working yet though :confused:

Usually takes time. 4-6 weeks to see noticeable improvement on psych meds. Meanwhile relax.

I havent been misdiagnosed and I already have an autism diagnosis
I personally do not believe in mild autism or ā€œfemale version of autismā€, im mid functioning myself (not low, obviously)

I also might have autism but the testing is super expensive here. Bleh.

@Crystal-Cotton did your doctor mention bpd? If you are not 18 yet, they may not diagnose you.
Also diagnosis changes all the time. I got re-dxed with psychotic depression after 7 years of having schizophrenia.

11

no they didnt mention it
:confused:

Hmm, okay. If you have bpd, the dialectic behavioural therapy is very helpful. I have CPTSD, which is similar to bpd symptoms. DBT helped me a lot.

If you are not yet 18, they may not diagnose you with a personality disorder. Also, diagnosis donā€™t really matter. What matters is that youā€™re getting the right treatment you need. :heart:

13

well the only therapy im getting now is talking with a nurse and APs so ehh

14

Thatā€™s a good step. Maybe once you get out they might refer you to more comprehensive therapies.

Youā€™re in good hands. Once step at a time.

I got out alreadyā€¦

They were to show that there has been a fair amount of research about autism and bpd. As for no such thing as ā€˜mild autismā€™ . That would depend on the definition of ā€˜mildā€™/whether ASD symptom can fall into that category or not.

My Aspergerā€™s dx taken in isolation would point to my being on the mild end of the spectrum . However throwing sz-a into the mix means that iā€™m not necessarily functioning in a way that would be indicative of ā€˜mild autismā€™

17

Oh.

Okay hereā€™s what I could suggest: when you see your psychiatrist next time, talk to them and see if you can get into any therapies.

18

yeah i guess
i got diagnosed with Aspergers but I have never been functioning in a way typical of ā€œmild autismā€
and its not my psychosis because I havent been psychotic since birth
