Sequoia Support 0 Report post Posted September 4, 2018 Hi everyone, I was given the diagnosis of BPD many years ago in my early 20's. I am now in my late 30's. When I was first given the diagnosis I was horrified that a professional could use the word 'disorder' to describe my personality. Since then I have had a mixed experience regarding my label being helpful/unhelpful. Id love to hear from others on your experiences of receiving a diagnosis/label and whether or not it has been a positive/negative experience. Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
