BPD – dissociative PTSD, before CPTSD hits. Why should BPD be reclassified as dissociative PTSD?

I just find it super hilarious how on TikTok when I showed this crisis, everyone diagnosed with EUPD told me “you don’t have BPD”.

No, YOU don’t have BPD. You have RSD…. and you’re neurodivergent. I was also born neurodivergent so I know the difference. EUPD is not BPD.

EUPD is more common than BPD. So if you’re diagnosed with EUPD I’d seek out an assessment for ADHD or ASD. You’re welcome ☺️.

Trust me, you don’t want BPD. It’s trauma hell. But if they keep changing these labels, people like me will slip the system and won’t get the correct support. The label was only changed because people were like “well BPD doesn’t feel like me”. It didn’t feel like you, because it wasn’t you. You’re neurodivergent and you have RSD.

Unless you get symptoms that resemble schizophrenia, like in the 1938 term for BPD, you don’t have it. It’s not pervasive well it is, but it comes and goes because it’s dissociative PTSD. That’s why I’m laughing so much. I’m like, well the system messed that one up by rejecting neurodivergence in the first place. And now the government is probably thinking “yes Natalie, we know we made a mistake with the labels, but will you keep your mouth shut because we don’t have the money to fix it”. Okay, can I have compensation for distress to pay for my trauma therapy then.
