DID and BPD

In this I am talking about borderline PD, not bipolar, but feel free to stray if you want (If we break each of us down, we all fit different diagnoses - some of us don't fit any!).

Many DID people have a dual diagnosis with BPD, or were misdiagnosed as BPD.

We were misdiagnosed in the past (I am like the opposite of BPD - we even got kicked out of DBT for not being impulsive/for doing as we were told!), although niva might fit it (her personality is stable, and she doesn't have dramatic relationships, but she's very intense, has abandonment issues, used to harm the body, and of course is prone to dissociation under stress..)

What about you/your system?

Diagnosed BPD 1 year before the d/x for DID.

BPD d/x is 100% accurate, I meet criteria in every category.

BUT, we are now beginning to think that perhaps it's a specific Alt with BPD which

*TRIGGERWARNING*

###$ with our head the most. we have a HARD time understanding how an alter in our head can have something that the host doesn't!

*END*

I do know that there is a lot of confusion when dealing with DID and BPD together, and I think that T's and support personal REALLY have to understand what both of these illnesses are.

Complicated to say the least.

At this point, that is all I can offer. But feel free to ask us any questions, we respond better via that stimuli!

Thanks for letting us post
