They’re trying to help. As soon as BPD is on your chart, therapists, psychiatrists, doctors, they all treat you differently. And even a brain scan between a person with BPD and CPTSD cannot be distinguished between one another. Be cautious.

i have both. bpd comes from trauma, so it’s not uncommon for ptsd to be diagnosed alongside it. i had to bring up bpd to my doctor. i did tons of research and documented symptoms and incidents in my life that were important

op, don’t be afraid to be “treated differently “. yes, there are doctors/therapists that will not deal with bpd, but there is hope. therapists that specialize in DBT are good
