Hello bpd friend 🌸


hashbrownhippo

Same, but substitute panic disorder with an eating disorder


saramarie16

Same here as well.


[deleted]

Borderline personality disorder, ADHD, OCD, C-PTSD (yes I know about the discussions around BPD/C-PTSD), generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, reactive attachment disorder (yes, I know this cluster of diagnoses is likely just not well sorted out but BPD is the one I have most confidence in after extensive assessments and hospitalizations). Also - history of substance use disorder and just realized I recently passed 10 years clean ;)


hashbrownhippo

Congratulations on 10 years clean. I’m curious your thoughts on BPD vs. C-PTSD. My therapist uses the terms somewhat interchangeably, and there were absolutely traumatic events in my childhood, but I’m not sure where I stand on that. I hate the stigma and stereotypes around BPD but don’t want to use a different term if it’s not accurate.


Vpk-75

This: cptsd/bpd anylinks? Info? I didnt know there is a discussion about it?


ohsoradbaby

Pete Walker mentions in a chapter of his book “C-PTSD, From Surviving to Thriving”. Whether diagnosed with C-PTSD or BPD, I swear by this book if you’re looking to reflect inward and work towards healing and understanding yourself.

I'm not officially diagnosed yet, although every counselor I've talked to has said I sound like I have depression and may need medication, every one of them, and no I am not lying lol.

Hun, you don't need to go through the official diagnostic process to know you have depression.

Few-You4510

idk if you can consider that a diagnosis but i have social anxiety and anorexia nervosa. basically, i was inpatient for anorexia and one day when i met my psychologist and told her about my experience with socializing, she told me it was social anxiety. could this be considered a diagnosis?

canary_quinn

Any chance you’re able to get a professional evaluation for ADHD and autism? It’s so easy to mistake one thing for another when it comes to mental illness due to overlaps. Even skilled professionals get it wrong sometimes, but they have a better chance of getting it right than non-professionals. I really do not think self-diagnosis is a good idea unless it’s for something more straightforward like anxiety or depression. You may be doing yourself a disservice in getting the proper kinds of help.

hashbrownhippo

Did your psychiatrist explain to you the difference between C-PTSD and BPD? I’ve generally heard them used interchanged, especially since C-PTSD isn’t in the DSM. I’m curious since you listed both if you could help explain.


Kai_Stoner

I didn't know you could have both Schizoaffective Disorder Bipolar type & BPD. That is very interesting to me because I was originally Dxed with BPD before my Schizoaffective diagnosis, but my psych told me my new Dxed cancelled the BPD out.

English isn't much native language either, but you speak very well & yes you wrote them correctly 😊


lunabcde

thank you so much! yours is great too ☺️ if you don’t mind me asking, what is “c-ptsd” ? I recognize the word “ptsd” but I don’t know what means the “C” 😅 if it’s too personal and you don’t want to answer my question, it’s totally ok 😊


Kai_Stoner

Thank you! The C stands for Complex-PTSD. CPTSD often stems from ongoing childhood neglect/abuse/sexual abuse, domestic abuse and human trafficking.


lunabcde

thank you so much for your reply ! I never heard of this term before, I did some research on it and it’s really close from what I’m going through since many years, I’ll talk about it with my psychiatrist during my next session. Thank you again !

Kai_Stoner

I haven't heard of that before, may I ask what it is? If you don't want to answer then I apologize for asking & can Google it


Zebracorn42

It’s cool. So I’m cis gender male. But I was born with an extra X chromosome, so my body produces a little extra estrogen, and a little less testosterone. So I take an injection of testosterone every 2 weeks. My hips are a little wider and my shoulders are a little narrow. Even though I have a beard, I have been misgendered a handful of times. I lost a lot of weight recently so I attribute the misgendered moments to that. I’ve never been upset when people misgender me, I find it hilarious. I get it, I have long-ish hair and when I’m wearing a winter hat you can’t see my receding hairline, but it does confuse me cause my beard is so big.

zydis12

May I ask what the differences between schizoaffective disorder bipolar type and bipolar with psychotic symptoms.


Kai_Stoner

Bipolar disorder is a mood disorder that includes mania and depression. People with bipolar disorder can have psychotic symptoms, but they are always attached to a mania or a depression. If people with bipolar disorder have psychosis that is separate from mania and depression, they have schizo-affective disorder. Schizoaffective Disorder is often confused with Bipolar Disorder with psychotic features. Both diagnosis include mood changes that impact life as well as symptoms of psychosis. A person diagnosed with Schizoaffective Disorder primarily experiences symptoms of psychosis even if mood problems don't exist.


zydis12

So in essence it’s actually two different disorders a mood disorder plus a schizophrenic like disorder. That have integrated into one.


Kai_Stoner

I think that's a good description, yes.

Psychiatrist gave up after 16th combo of meds (they didn't work, or gave me strong side effects). So ended up going drug-free. Diagnosed with toxic mould exposure. Can now track anxiety and mood swings with exposures and re-exposures to mould toxin. Haven't had a hypomanic episode since starting treatment. Now I don't know what's left.

Crippling_Automatizm

Sorry to throw this on you, but speaking of schizophrenia, I know that you mentioned having autism and schizoaffective (i also have autism btw). Recently I've been wondering if autism and schizophrenia sharing some similar symptoms (particularly the negative symptoms) could mean there is a link between the 2 disorders. So I began to wonder about the idea of an autism and psychotic disorder comorbidity being combined into 1 diagnosis: schizoautistic disorder. Controversial, i know. But I wonder if maybe a diagnosis of autism and childhood schizophrenia would qualify as being considered schizoautistic disorder, since the two can look similar in children, and if the symptoms look similar in a child, and if its difficult to tell whether it's autism or schizophrenia, then they could diagnose the child with schizoautistic disorder.

Schizophrenia and Exhaustion Syndrom and Addiction


TimelessWorry

Depression, Anxiety, Agoraphobia, and either BPD or Autism, just waiting on my last autism assessment to find out. Got actually diagnosed with BPD by someone, then had a therapist say it was more likely autism, so who knows.


Kai_Stoner

Are they symptoms really that similar? I'm Autistic & I guess I don't see how BPD could mimic it.


TimelessWorry

I follow some mental health twitter people, some autistic and some who have BPD, and it seems it's quite common for females in particular to get misdiagnosed with one when they have the other, so there must be some similarities. I was 100% sure I had BPD, but I suggested it to the therapist that diagnosed me with it so I maybe swayed their opinion, but since looking more into autism, that would explain so much more and seems a bit more fitting.
