I've recently been diagnosed with BPII and am struggling to accept it. Although I can see that I have been suffering from the symptoms, it's as though I don't want to admit that it could be true. If I really did have some "disease", then that means that some important categories of my behavior are not of my choosing. But, I can't shake the idea that I am just making this all up, or faking the symptoms, or just a destructively worthless person. The thing is, no matter how extreme the symptom (or behavior), or how perfectly it fits the diagnostic criteria, I know I'd still believe I was an imposter.
Does anyone have some feedback?
