Diagnosed BPD
I was recently diagnosed with BPD- I have had systems and I was diagnosed with severe PTSD due to sexual abuse and a crazy adoptive mother.
when my sister and son both passed in 2023 and then I got laid off I guess the other symptoms started to surface. I had a therapist say this to me a few years back but I was just trying to focus on the PTSD.
There is not a medication for this diagnosis and I understand why, it is really just about who and what you yourself will let people do or say without just walking away.
I have always wanted to win the fight now I just think about the cruelty of this person who is treating me this way.
I will read and do my homework but I say just let people say whatever it’s not your thought and really do I care ??

That sounds like a lot to deal with. (Sorry about your sister and son in particular. 💜) Makes sense that a few years ago the PTSD from everything that happened while you were growing up was the top priority, and only more recently the BPD has come to the forefront.
I saw that you mentioned in another post that you were trying to separate from your husband last year and that he's been doing things that trigger reactions. I assume he's the person whose cruelty you're thinking about.
Is it kind of like before you used to fight against him and wanted to "win" (because it felt unjust for someone like him who was treating you that way to win)--but now you're moving more toward "You can say whatever you want and I'm not going to waste my energy or get disturbed by trying to fight with you"?

"Do I really care?" is the fundamental question for people with BPD imo and thats what people don't get
