I missed this article from 2024 and it means I could have PTSD or Complex PTSD. https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/12/is-this-actually-ptsd-clinicians-divided-over-redefining-borderline-personality-disorder

It fits very well when the wheels came off my mind when I was 12/13 after we had moved from where the sexual abuse was happening.

Not that it would make any difference if I was relabelled - they won’t - but I wouldn’t mind saying I had PTSD whereas I tell no-one about my Borderline PD diagnosis.
