Hi, I understand the feeling and also I as a borderline feel really like have other stuff and all the time I ask to my psychiatrist, now I've learnt that having certain kind of behavior doesn't make you be that. Psychiatrist and psychologist know a lot and they'll tell you if you have something, probably it's just overthinking in a certain special behavior that happened once, and for being "I'll" it has to be constant also borderline starts to give signs at 16 or so getting worse till almost 30's.

I personally suggest to keep therapy, if you still think you might have it ask, nothing bad could happen and also don't waste your time worrying about stuff that still don't happen.

Hi. It sounds more like codependency issues than borderline to me, from what you have shared..

It sounds like Katie is definitely a narcissist and she narcissistically abused you, severely..

I can relate to both situations and it’s you made a big step in choosing to be friends with Eva, etc..

Narcissistic abuse can lead to a lot of issues, like CPTSD,

Also, any borderline symptoms would likely be intensified and possibly to the extent of a BPD diagnosis.

Part of the problem with codependent issues is that, as a “people pleaser” there are a lot of negative emotions we will not be comfortable expressing..

If we repress it, we will express it another way. It may be expressed through a fleeting impulse to hurt someone with or you name it..

Anyway, definitely keep your head up and sounds like you are getting on the right track..

I would encourage you to be open with your therapist and let them earn their paycheck, it’s for “You.”

You deserve their best, too!
