As someone thatās struggled with BPD symptoms for 7 years before getting diagnosed officially it pisses me tf off when literal kids 12-17 years olds swear up and down they have BPD. Iām literally studying neuropsychology which is basically someone that diagnoses people so ik what Iām talking about here me loud and clear if you are under the age of 18 you canāt have BPD you can show symptoms like I did at 10 but you canāt claim youāve got BPD until you get a official diagnosis at 18 because no one legally can be diagnosed with BPD until 18 because youāre not emotionally developed fully yet. Also stop saying you have BPD then say you get manic because bad people donāt get manic we get euphoric a completely different thing Iāve experienced both because I have BPD and bipolar (Autism and much more). Iām all for self diagnosing autism because no one knows you better than you but You can not self diagnose BPD you have to be officially diagnosed itās a dangerous disorder and disability not to mention itās the hardest mental illness to live with so please kids stop claiming and romanticizing BPD itās not fun itās not quirky itās serious and if you are 18+ and have done enough research to think you resonate with the symptoms please go get a evaluation from an actual neuropsychologist no one else can technically diagnose you. One more thing before Iām done with my rant remember if youāre a woman and are 18+ and have been diagnosed with BPD do research on autism because they will misdiagnose you on purpose because women are already seen as sensitive and overly dramatic and they prefer not to diagnose women with autism so they diagnose them with BPD which isnāt always the case Iāve had several people reach out to me and tell me I was right they got misdiagnosed with BPD and actually it was just autism so please do your research yes itās possible to have both but youāve gotta do research to know these things or youāre just blindly being lead on because they know you donāt know what theyāre talking about so do plenty of research.

Then you donāt have BPD you literally just show symptoms and you canāt be diagnosed until 18 thatās a fact I showed sign at age 11 but that didnāt automatically mean I had BPD please do research before trying to claim you have BPD you can be treated as so by a psychiatrist but you will not have a BPD diagnosis till youāre 18 meaning you canāt say you have it until youāre officially diagnosed so you just show symptoms of BPD but you donāt have itš«„š«„

I have done my research literally went to college to diagnose peopleš«„š«„ but like I said you donāt have BPD they donāt have BPD yall just have symptoms and thatās okay and glad yall are getting the treatment as you need but thatās false you cannot be diagnosed with BPD at 15 only 18+ unless you live somewhere outside the USA sometimes but not in the USA youāre brain is still developing and even then please do your research and consider you might have autism instead cause those are commonly misdiagnose things because they overlap each other but like I said as someone thatās gone to college for this compared to someone thatās still in high school I have the intellect to know better and if someone did diagnosed you at age 15 or younger thatās illegal and you should get a new psychiatrist therapist and neuropsychologist (the only people that can diagnose you) good luck and I hope you get the help you need and the right diagnoses once youāre old enough because you donāt have BPD no one under the age of 18 does or undiagnosed has BPD you just show symptoms

They canāt be diagnosed no matter how bad the symptoms are youāll just be treated as so so no you donāt have BPD youāre treated as so and chances are you just have autismš«„š«„

that's not true. a lot of teens display symptoms that show but in a different form all the way into adulthood. you can't get diagnosed under 18 not because you just can't but bcs they don't want to be mistaken, even though they rarely are! most of the ppl wgo get misdiagnosed w bpd have cptsp or some other mood disorder which is also serious but can get mistaken frequently in adulthood too! i am speaking from experience because i got diagnosed at 15,i am now 16, medicated for 2 years and undergoing cbt and dbt, hospitalised 5 times.. i understand your anger, i really do, and i am so sorry that someone who didn't go trough what you did is saying hat, but trust me- those who are rlly convinced they have bpd, either have it (2-5% of the population) or have some other serious mental disorder so i don't think we should be mean and pinpoint, but emphatise and let them get through it. at least that way they'll get proper care

Also donāt think anyone should be diagnosed until 18 because even if you show symptoms and have issues you can go into remission easier Iāve been showing symptoms since I was really young like 8-10 but got diagnosed at 18 which is fair because something that was an issue for me at 15-17 isnāt much of an issue now because the facts are BPD gets better with time and it truly does I still suffer a lot but Iām not just going on a whim and killing myself like I use to when I was still a kid Iām 22 almost 23 now and just now am able to have the resources I need for therapy Iām in three types of therapy and have a psychiatrist and I take no meds because Iāve been going through all meds you can name since I was 11 Iāve ruined my brain and body with meds for decade and some instead of them just lettin me grow up more and teach me coping mechanisms now Iām even more fucked up so I feel for you and hope that doesnāt happen to you because I was 13 being treated like a BPD patient but couldnāt be diagnosed and that fucked me up in the long run by them forcing meds down my throat when you canāt cure BPD but you can go into remission with the right therapy so hope you can get to the point as I am on the journey now after a decade to finally Getting into remission.
