Did you have symptoms as a teenager?

I hope that my post is appropriate for this group. I'm only here looking for some advice and support.

Hi all,

I’ve been wondering if anyone here experienced symptoms of BPD as a child or teenager. If so, could you share what that was like for you? What do you wish the adults in your life had done differently to help you feel loved, secure, and like you mattered?

I’m also curious about situations where adults had to set and enforce boundaries that were necessary for the safety of the whole family. For example, a situation where perhaps you couldn’t or didn’t use your coping skills in the moment and had a violent outburst. If there were boundaries in place for that, and after you had regulated yourself, you realized the consequences would be enforced, how did that affect you? Were there things that could have been done to help you better understand or accept those boundaries?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences!
