Hi everyone, I'm a college student who was recently hospitalized (involuntarily) for suicidal ideation and depressive symptoms, after my psychologist called the police on me. That was my first time being hospitalized in a psych ward, even though I've been suicidal for many years. It was quite an experience.

The hospital report says that I have "cluster B personality traits" under "your other medical conditions." The nurse practitioner added the following comments for my college: "I believe this student suffers from some cluster B traits that have likely developed from past childhood traumas and early attachment difficulties. However, she does not meet full criteria to suggest borderline personality disorder."

Out of curiosity, has anyone else on this sub received the same designation ("cluster B personality traits" but not BPD)? Does anyone have any thoughts/insights about what I might be able to do with this information, and why the hospital decided that this was relevant information to include in my report? I would appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.

I want to find out more about this because I've been wondering "what the fuck is wrong with me" my entire life, and I thought maybe this can help me. Even though I probably don't have full BPD (although a different healthcare provider might disagree with this assessment), it does seem like I exhibit many of the symptoms, such as chronic suicidality and self-harm, unstable/extreme emotions, impulsive behavior, anger issues, all-or-nothing thinking, etc. Just to be clear, I'm not really asking whether I have BPD; I'm mostly wondering if anyone else received the same vague description as I did, and what they were able to get out of it.

Potentially relevant info: I was also diagnosed with autism and ADHD recently.
