Is it bad to diagnose yourself with borderline personality disorder?
It is NEVER a good idea to try to diagnose yourself for anything. BPD is a very serious and complex disorder and it shares many symptoms with other illnesses. Even professionals can misdiagnose it. I have BPD and went around for more than ten years with various diagnoses, including schizophrenia, and depression. This is after numerous hospitalizations and numerous psychiatrists. I don’t think that I am crazy. You need to see a professional ASAP.You cannot diagnose yourself, and you definitely cannot treat yourself. It will not go away, and you will not grow out of it. It is treatable but it takes a lot of time and hard work. Look up Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.
