I was diagnosed about a year ago and am still struggling with what's my disorder and what's just me (my therapist tells me there's a difference, I low key disagree). But Is it super BPD to just feel expendable to everyone in your life? Because I've been feeling that and idk if that's me being borderline af or if I'm just depressed and super sensitive
I still struggle with the difference between my actions/thoughts/etc and what is caused by my disorder as well. That’s a huge portion of being borderline. I personally have correlated my feelings of being expendable to everyone with my BPD, but that can also be a symptom of depression. When you’ve got multiple disorders, it’s really hard to separate everything into clear-cut boxes of what disorder goes with what symptom.
Also, your feelings don’t have to be related to a single disorder (or even all of them) to be valid. You can feel expendable without assigning that feeling to a specific mental illness, but if it’s an “always/never” situation or very extreme, it is probably due to borderline.
Hope that helps!
