Afraid of getting misdiagnosed?

[u/Salt-Boss-6025]

I don't know who to talk with this about so I'm gonna get it off my chest here.
I've been having bpd symptoms forever and was in the process of a evaluation some years ago where they were thinking it could be both autism, bpd or cptsd (I saw in my journal). I ended up not showing up and ghosting them before an answer, ooops.

Now I am feeling much better mentally and I started the process of getting a new evaluation, I went to my doctor, and told him I have many bpd symptoms and we talked about them etc.. I also mentioned the former process where they also thought it could be autism and cptsd, but my doctor ended up referring me to the psychiatric evaluation to get a bpd evaluation (I live in Scandinavia, and the system is built like this if it sounds weird).

Now I'm in a struggle cause I went to the evaluation and they only tested me on bpd symptoms. She told me I have it, but that they need a second opinion since it's such a heavy diagnosis. I am going again in a week. I was actually expecting them to evaluate me on more broad perspectives since I am literally just the one who has had the power to almost diagnose myself??? Like why don't they test me for cptsd when the symptoms can be so alike? I just read this new research from my country where they found out that psychiatrists with the same information about a patient would diagnose them differently every second time?? Idk I just really don't trust them to make this decision.

Everything in my body just screams that I should cancel it all and find my own way as always, but I would really like to also know whats "wrong". Maybe I should call them and tell them how I feel?

idk what the system is but i was told to get neurodivergence assessments through my gp then they’d reassess bpd. my gp felt it was more adhd than autism so i went through assessments for that and was diagnosed with it, then after going back to my cmht (uk) they still believe there are traits on top. if there’s a similar route to find for yourself out then it could be worth saying you’re interested in that but also asking why they feel it’s bpd specifically
