MODERATORS
I got diagnosed because I started recognizing certain problems I had and how they were negatively impacting my life and wanted to know what was going on.
I did not expect the diagnosis I was given (BPD, ADHD and a referral to see a specialist to test for autism) because I don't recall ever having any of the issues affecting me I now have when I was a kid. I had no anxiety. I had no problems with selective mutism. Didn't have a problem staying on task, etc. I did have some issues regulating my emotions but that more indicates I've always had BPD than ADHD.
