heyyyy, so i saw your bpd tweets and sorry if im rude or something for asking but i have a few questions and it would mean the world if you could answer them (only if you want to fr) first, how did you get your diagnosis? second, if you're currently attending therapy, what's the approach? like is it just talking about feelings like most therapy sessions are or do people with bpd need any kind of specific therapy?
im curious cause i got diagnosed with bpd too but it was like 3 years ago and it wasn't on paper or anything, it was my psychologist (who i'd been seeing for around two years) saying "i think this is what you have", at first it made sense but and i went on with it but the therapy never changed and i never felt any improvement that wasn't medicine related, after that, because my country's health system sucks, i had to change psychologist like 5 and i was told by like 2 of them that i might have ADHD instead, a few friends with ADHD have also told me that and sometimes i feel like i do but i don't wanna self diagnose and i still have bpd symptoms so i feel clueless and hopeless. tbh i've read a fair amount of info about ADHD because my sibling has it but it makes me confused cause that sibling is completely different from me and like i know different disorders manifest and feel different on everyone, but since im not sure about the bpd either it all feels so confusing and im not sure about what's the process to get an accurate diagnosis 😭😭 i currently can't access a psychiatrist and i can only attend one therapy session once every 3 months so i wanna see other options but i wanna know what options are even there 😭 sorry if this is too long D: again if you don't want to you don't have to answer

Hii, i saw your tweet about bpd and i cried a lil :(
I'm on the other side of the thing, my bestfriend has it and she only discovered that years after we met. hardest friendship of my life, had to go through a lot of pain and i didn't understand why she would treat me like that after all the love and patience i gave her. However I decided to stay, because i love her to death, and i would never regret it. She actually went to theraphy and she's doing such an incredible job, and it helped me understand her better too. We had to forgive each other a lot, and talk for hours, and i had to distance myself for a while since it was too demaging for me at a certain point, but at the end of the day we were always there for each other when we needed and that could never change. I cannot say that she didn't hurt me, but I could always,and still can, see her own pain too, and when she finally started to also see mine that's when i knew that if we both worked harder to understand each other we could've made it, and that's what actually happened. We just cannot give up on each other even tho it is hard, and to this day we are doing soooo much better and we love each other a lot.
