Explaining BPD: Bpd means that much of your functioning is still like that of an adolescent. Yu are an adolescent, so it is not a disorder however, bpd is found most comonly among people (mostly women) that have experienced childhood abuse causing their coping skills to be delayed. If you had child abuse, see a therapist that uses cbt, trauma informed care and skill building.
