I know right, I have a tendency to overshare. Getting better at it!
There’s a move to lift the BPD diagnosis that corresponds with PTSD out of BPD proper and move it to be a subset of PTSD.
The idea is that the disease behaves very differently in people with PTSD than those without.
It’s definitely been my experience that, for example, tools like mindfulness or DBT can actually exacerbate my dissociative trauma-related issues.
Plus I really balk at labeling trauma a “personality disorder” in general.
My doc said I was too self-aware to be truly personality disordered.
Maybe that’s true.
