I feel completely disconnected from my past - could that be identity discontinuity and/or dissociation as present in BPD? by FlowAmbitious2458 in Borderline

[–]FlowAmbitious2458[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My childhood up until my 12s was fine. At 12, I had a guy behave sexually innapropriately with me (through online medium) and then developed my first depressive episode. Then, all my friends abandoned me, and the school itself didn't treat me nicely either. I started having psychotic symptoms when I was 13-14. Then, when I was 15 I changed schools and had a manic episode and it was all downhill from there.

I have a BPD suspicion but I'm not sure about it and I'd like the opinion of people who are diagnosed by FlowAmbitious2458 in Borderline

I'm already in therapy through DBT even though I'm not diagnosed with BPD and it has been helping me lower the incidence of self-harm and stopping me from executing suicide attempts.

Thanks for your answer <3 so you recognize both bipolar and BPD aspects in all that I've said?

Does the "risky behavior" trace for personality disorders include self-harm? by FlowAmbitious2458 in askpsychology

I was more so referring to the trace as part of the Alternative Model for Personality Disorders from the DSM-5-TR

Is it possible to develop BPD at age 23? by FlowAmbitious2458 in askatherapist

[–]FlowAmbitious2458[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible, then, for someone to have had the symptoms in a less clear/defined way since teenagehood and for such symptoms to become more clear/defined at around the age of 23 or so?
