If you're worried and trying to seek reassurance, you have OCD. People with BPD are almost always unaware cus its just their personality, its how they see the world so they don't know how else to see it, so they generally don't question it. It is possible to have both, but talk to doc cus its very rare for someone with BPD to think they have BPD (my sister has it, has been diagnosed 4 times and never once believed them)

You know those tests are BS. Don’t seek reassurance.

I second that, those tests are bs. I would recommend talking to a doctor or therapist

You can’t use an internet test to diagnosis BPD. I am a therapist. Many people meet criteria on paper but don’t actually have it. It’s not just about what the paper says. It’s about clinical judgement from an experienced professional

I used to fear I had it, and my therapist was trained specifically in borderline and she straight up told me most people with it dont think they have it. Is this what uve seen in ur experience?

@AJDCTX12 Yes. There is usually something about their personality that is off that you can see as soon as the walk in the room- but they are usually oblivious to it themselves.

Are you referring to bipolar disorder or borderline personality disorder

Generally BPD means borderline. For bipolar they usually just say BP1 or BP2 or bipolar itself

Im a 21 year old female in a straight relationship with the best guy a girl could ever ask for. About 2 months ago, I went to get coffee with a friend and as I dropped her off, I got a “weird” vibe from her and the look she gave me which lead to the thought of “should I kiss her”….Ive never had a thought like that before and I never have ever wanted to kiss another girl. I have also never had a desire to be with another girl (sexually or romantically). Now though, I have had one other experience of being with a different friend going to get lunch and it felt weird. Ever since then I have been on google non stop with hundreds of different searches, questioning if im lying to myself of my boyfriend, wondering about my past relationships even though Ive only dated boys, been attracted to boys, crushed on boys, etc… boy crazy! Reading on other forums has been a big thing too or doing quizzes. I believe its SO-OCD but im so scared that what if its not. I am in therapy and actually had two weeks of not even thinking about it or googling it until yesterday. I dont know what to do.

Hello there. I’m new here and think I may have OCD I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life. However, in my early teens, I started experiencing obsessive fears and engaging in compulsions because my brain convinced me that if I didn’t perform a certain action a specific number of times, it would “prove” that I wanted something terrible to happen. When I was 17, I began seeing a therapist and opened up to her about this. She diagnosed me with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), and I accepted the diagnosis But last night, I became curious about whether people with GAD engage in compulsions and have specific fears, so I looked it up. I was shocked to learn that these are not typical characteristics of GAD Now, I would love to find a therapist who specializes in OCD so I can get a formal diagnosis and the appropriate treatment

i’m a new user on this app, I downloaded it just cause I was curious, I don’t really know if I have OCD. Because in school all I learned about OCD is things being out of place and having it to be perfect almost like perfectionism, but I’ve just recently realized there’s a whole kind of different types of OCD, some things I struggle with daily is a fear of bad things happening or almost like an impending doom of when is it gonna happen? I’m always in my head thinking feels like I’m having multiple conversations at once. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like I’m having a conversation with myself. I have horrendous anxiety about everything and anything talking to people being around people. It just feels like it consumes my everyday life and I don’t know what to do. I can’t clearly remember anything from my childhood and some things I feel like I may be imagining I just don’t really feel like a person. I’m always thinking the worst in my relationship over analyzing and stressing out thinking of scenarios or thinking, my boyfriend‘s cheating on me. It almost all feels out of my control.
