Hi I have borderline personality disorder but think there might mre then that I missed out on alot of school growing up and had an extremely rough environment moving constantly I have been trying get my doctors to take some serious test but they tell me it's the BPD but I feel like it's more then that and really like to figure it so I can help myself properly? I live in [edited moderator] Queensland thank you for reading this and commenting on it if U do ☺️

Hi @SevS, welcome to the forum.
I've been dealing with a lot of guys thepast couple of years who had a lot of trouble with GPs resistant (or refusing) to test them for prostate cancer saying that in their 40s and 50s, they were too young to worry about it. Only to find out later that they had it. GP's aren't perfect and can make assumptions so if you feel like a doctor (even if it a specialist rather then a GP) then continue asking for some tests. If they don't, get a 2nd opinion. You have every right to know for sure.
Do you feel comfortable saying what it is that makes you think there's more to it? It's no problem if you don't. I think moving constantly when you're growing up, making it difficult to form connections with friends for very long can easily lead to issues as an adult. I'm in my 50s and still suffer from problems related to not being able to form connections with anyone growing up. Mine had nothing to do with constantly moving but there's possibly some similarities with attachment issues.

Do you feel safe @SevS ?
I hear how going round in circles can be so distressing for you.
