I have been diagnosed with bpd recently after a year of getting checked, i was sad that my brain is in fact not wired the way it should be but also happy that i get to be aware of what i have.now i have a friend lets call her amanda, we were really close in high school and we recently catch up. i told her i got diagnosed with bpd and she was very interested with it. for example she would ask me how i was diagnosed, what medications im taking, how i learned there's something wrong with me etc. as a friend ofc i was open to anything she would ask. however, every time i explain to her some of my symptoms she would say "i think i might have it too" or "maybe i have it" and always telling me she relates to it. we've been like this for almost 2 months, now she start. telling people she also have bpd, she even put it on her instagram bio. now the problem is i think that self diagnosing is dangerous. i mean there are things she would say that kinda match my symptom so i am not the one to tell her she doesn't have it. also i cant just tell her to go get checked due to her living conditions, she's basically an abandoned child so getting any therapy is off the table. i don't want her to feel like getting diagnosed with disorders are only for privileged/fortunate people i dont really know what's bothering me but i think ill just leave her alone.
