i'm sure that's true for some people but in that case we should be looking into why its a common self diagnosis on vp
I've been on tumblr since 12 y/o and im in mid twenties now, during that time... A lot of teens and almost young adults diagnosed themselves with bpd yet they claim they dont go to doctor or psychologist.
Bpd have too much in common like being a normal teenager people dont get this diagnosis before they're mature and preferably 25+.
Getting this diagnosis early on is very rare, and personality disorders are rare in general so i never really trust teens on tumblr or other sites are diagnosed with this if they're younger than 25.
Exactly.
I've had BPD for multiple years, but it's only after I turned eighteen that the psychiatrists and doctors actually gave me the diagnosis. I wish I could've gotten it earlier on, and gotten help back then, but I'm thankful that I finally have the diagnosis now, it makes me feel more secure? I guess? Like I can point to bpd, when I don't understand myself.
Good thing proffesionals used time before it's all set, altough hope you still worked on your issues before that. Personality disorder are constant & life long and preferably should not get misdiagnosed which is why it's good to wait until one is mature enough to be sure. Though any issues should get help even without diagnosis.
