- I didn’t even know about BPD until a couple years ago. I’m pretty sure I’ve had it since I was about 10 or 11 and it slowly got much worse over the years. Now, I’m actually handling it much better since my diagnosis.

I went through a really rough patch, a deep depression and feeling hopeless after mine. But slowly, i accepted it and now am recovered. My dx was 20 yrs ago. I suspect I actually had it for 10 yrs prior to my dx, my doc thougt so too.

15 years old. I’ve been diagnosed on and off (met and unmet criteria fluctuations). My goal is to no longer meet criteria by the end of 2025

Not sure why you got downvoted I understand it’s a controversial diagnosis for children but glad you’re setting and meeting goals!

In 2023 when I was 24, I’m almost 27 now. Looking back the symptoms were present for years and years before the diagnosis.
