I’ve taken several online quizzes and they’ve all said I have at least some symptoms. How do I bring it up with a new therapist or psychiatrist?

Anyone with BPD-what were your symptoms before being diagnosed? Did you have to bring it up to your dr or did they mention it?

So, my therapist brought up the possibility to me and encouraged me to bring it up to my shrink. However, if you’re concerned and have researched the symptoms and what not, then I would def recommend bringing it up yourself. I would just bring up like hey, I’ve noticed this pattern of behaviors, what do you think that could be/what could be causing it? And I would also mention how long you’ve noticed those patterns in yourself.

Thanks. Do you have any tips for coming to terms with the diagnosis if I do have it?

I’m really bad at advice, but I would say that an official diagnosis doesn’t change who you are. It just gives you and your team an idea of what to work on to improve your life.
