Your psychiatrist is probably missing signs of neurodivergence since they probably see you for 20 mins once a month while your therapist sees you weekly for almost an hour… Believe your therapist on this one. So many people over diagnose women with BPD and not adhd or tism related

I mean if you want to be brought down professionally and told you are the issue your whole life go ahead and get a bpd diagnosis. Even tho it is a known issue in the mental health world of professionals misdiagnosing female autistic patients. You will be the problem since you can retrain your brain to think differently and not have bpd. Go collect your diagnoses like Pokémon if you want rather than learning to think differently 😂

i was diagnosed with adhd when i was 7 and autism later when i was 18 lol it would’ve been both at the same but it was before 2013 when the dsm was chNged and said you could have both. along with the symptoms of my neurodivergence i also experience those bpd symptoms. some do overlap for sure but not all and i have the ones that don’t overlap

Yeah don’t have BPD your psychiatrist is inexperienced with emotional regulation in those who are a fun little combo diagnosis . A BPD diagnosis will discredit you in so many way by health professionals you don’t want that
