EUPD or BPD

I don’t know if I have all the traits , i mean it was suggested before he suggested I go for an autism assessment. I don’t know if I have a personality disorder like this. I mean yes I am scared of ending up alone but I’ve also had a stable 6 year relationship we simply don’t fight can it still be a possibility ?

BPD sometimes needs environmental triggers as it can lurk quietly. But it’s always best to follow doctors suggestion. So you can put it to rest.

I rarely very rarely get angry these days but I suppose it can be a possibility because I still have it in me :tired_face:

Focusing on a specific label or diagnosis can lead you in circles. Instead, think about the symptoms. What symptoms of BPD/EUPD do you struggle with, and what are the recommended ways to manage those? Have those methods helped you manage your symptoms in the past?

I really don’t know it’s not my diagnosis so I didn’t fully look into it… I guess will find out after the autism assessment.

If you don’t struggle with any of the symptoms, and it is not a listed diagnosis, is there another reason you worry about having it?

I’m not worried , it was a suggested at one meeting so I was just curious… If it’s still a possibility if I’m not experiencing anger issues much or suicidal thoughts as well.

As you know I’ve had multiple dx so far and I’ve spent years wanting to just know and I guess I may never. Mi is so complicated.

It really is complicated. So much to consider. Good luck at your eval. As the years go by, it seems more and more of us find out we are autistic.

Its not uncommon for women to be missed :disappointed: and find out late.

So after you find out you have it then what? What happens next?

If you dont know then id suggest to pick the symptoms you struggle with and look up strategies to treat them specific to bpd.

The main treatment for bpd is DBT . Its quite similar to cbt. Theres no drugs that help.

The main symptoms are under control apart from the intense anxiety around things. I don’t get angry very often
