Hi, Im new to this forum. This topic really interested me b/c I am always trying to learn what is wrong with me. I was dx with BPD, BIpolar and CPTSD. That scares me. yet for bipolar there is no medication that works. I never related to the intense swings. With BPD, I wasnt self injurious. Today as an adult I do not depend on others ....I have had nightmares for years, I startle VERY easlity, but I also have paranoia which I figured out that it was the severity of my mothers narcissitic gaslighting behaviors. I was made to be their scapegoat. I think I am just questiong about the paranoia??
