i’m nearly 20 and no longer live with my parents. my mom is aware i’m in therapy, to the extent that she’s aware of is for severe dissociation and bdd, however, i get my official bpd diagnosis next week. i’m not sure how to tell her. i only see her 2-3 times a year for short intervals and she lives a few states away. she refused to believe i was even the slightest bit depressed as a kid despite showing behaviors since i was in elementary school. im not sure if she will react well, honestly i think i got this from her, and i place my bet on her saying my therapist is wrong. i have the quiet subtype so all of my behaviors are directed inward, so it’ll make it more difficult for her to believe bc to her im “normal”. i’ve considered making a cake that just says “i’m borderline” on it as a joke and telling her to lighten the mood, but i genuinely don’t know how to tell her.
