BPD and C PTSD

BPD and C PTSD

Anyone willing to share advice on how to handle a BPD and C-PTSD diagnosis?

On one hand I realise it is probably the best thing to happen to me in a long while as it addresses things that I've struggled with my whole life and might offer a clearer pathway to recovery....

On the other hand.... It has made me feel worse since seeing the Psychiatrist who is diagnosing me. The shame I feel around it is next level... It's only been a few days so I guess there's going to be a period of adjusting to these new lenses to see myself through and I guess Stigma plays a big role. I just am in shock somewhat I think...

I wish this wasn't my reality, it makes me angry! And sad and anxious and all the big emotions lol

Re: BPD and C PTSD

Hey group,

thanks for sharing your stories, i had a recent volcano eruption ( not good) that led to a diagnosis of Severe Major Depression and now BPD traits, not the illness my Psychiatrist stated , I gained a 10/10 score, my question is to you is there a difference between trait and disorder ?
