I rejected the BPD label initially in England because an abusive incident caused my PTSD attacks at the time and I didn’t expect the flashbacks to come back hence I’m scared because I’ve only just realised it never went away and now I have new CPTSD symptoms I didn’t have before.
I would put my mood swings towards bipolar type 1 associated with creativity, but not BPD. But recent studies into CPTSD show it looks like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, induces a spiritual crisis, and a wide range of symptoms that resemble various conditions at once when triggered hence it’s complex.
My mother has BPD and it’s completely different and BPD is a type of PTSD anyway – dissociative PTSD.
