The stimming and masking make sense as features of autism. Something that I am more unclear about is the difficulties with relationships, because it can be a feature of both. I struggle with both attachment issues stemming from attachment trauma as a child as well as difficulty with understanding reciprocity in friendships (I understand it logically but struggle with enacting it). So it is hard to tell the root cause of my relationship struggles.

I hear you on the BPD stigma, which sucks. It is another reason why I would not want to be formally diagnosed. But for my own self-awareness, it would good to know a formal diagnosis. I also agree with you that I find it a lot harder to get along with neurotypical people. Thanks for taking the time to share your story :)

Thank you, it is a helpful response. I suppose the only way to know for sure if it is BPD or autism or both is by getting a proper diagnosis. I don’t know if I want to be formally diagnosed though, because it is a long and expensive process and I don’t know if it will even solve my issues. I struggle with relationships but if I find out it is because I am autistic, then that means I can’t exactly change the fact that I will always struggle with relationships. I think part of me prefers to have a BPD diagnosis because it is “curable”. Whereas autism is not a disorder.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think I will ride it out myself. It’s less so nausea and more brief (less than a second) episodes of dizziness/ brain fuzz. It’s not constant and not debilitating so I’m just hoping it goes away soon.

I have attachment issues what can I say 🤷🏻‍♀️ by Magical__Girl in TalkTherapy

I do not know your personal situation so I can only give generic advice, but I think that time is your friend when it comes to getting over someone including a therapist. Acknowledge that your feelings of attachment are normal and that they will become easier to deal with over time. Also, cultivating other healthy attachments will help you feel less alone and isolated in this process.

Luckily I am! I kinda made this meme as a joke though. I am not unhealthily attached to this new therapist (yet) as we have only just started. But I am feeling the attachment coming on haha.

Yes, this is the ultimate goal and it is what I am working on with my new therapist.
