How do you know whether you have BPD or a CDD?
Also, we know you can have both and that it's common, but we wonder if we got it all wrong and that it's BPD. We've been diagnosed with EUPD impulsive type, but it was removed and changed to unspecified bipolar disorder. Our soon ex therapist has talked about CDD symptoms without using the exact terms for it, C-PTSD and mentioned BPD in a way that alluded to her suspecting it, but she doesn't like diagnostic terms because she sees them as too restrictive
We know we dissociate a lot. We know we age regress involuntarily. We know we have amnesia. We know we feel like different people to an extent and don't always have control over how we speak and act. But maybe this could be explained by BPD? And maybe also being genderfluid?
We were thinking we might have DID or P-DID, but maybe our separate personality states are more aligned with borderline parts? Idk man we have names and look different and have different ages and genders, but could that be how BPD works for some? Because I've heard pwBPD struggle with having a sense of self and might pick it up from other people or fictional characters. Idk man it's difficult because maybe our symptoms aren't really DID-like? We are dissociating too much rn to write anymore hhhhh thank you for reading and sorry if it makes 0 sense
TLDR: is there a way to tell if it's CDD or BPD?
