I don't really know what to say but! My name's Axel, I'm 18, my pronouns are he/it and my diagnosis list looks like a CVS receipt, but what matters to this account is I'm professionally diagnosed with BPD.
I have impulsive BPD specifically, and experience all the diagnostic criteria, but with medication I'm not usually suicidal and don't have episodes of anger very often anymore. BPD causes psychosis for me, and I deal with paranoia, delusions and less often hallucinations.
My posts are from this perspective and my experience with these symptoms, but I try to follow science as much as possible. I'm not a mental health professional, if I post something inaccurate please let me know and I'll take it down or correct it in the caption

★What's cluster B?
☆Cluster B is a group of personality disorders, people with those disorders show dramatic, overly emotional and/or unpredictable thinking/behavior. The cluster includes aspd, bpd, hpd and npd
★What do you mean by you don't believe in narcissistic abuse?
☆What I mean is people with NPD don't have a pattern of abuse specific to the disorder, "narcissistic abuse" is just the typical cycle of abuse. I'm not claiming that having NPD makes someone incapable of abuse, and I'm not saying you weren't abused. I am saying that if your abuser wasn't diagnosed with NPD, they aren't a narcissist
★What sources do you use?
☆I almost always use NCBI and the Cleveland clinic since I know those are trustworthy, but sources are linked on this carrd
★Are you diagnosed?
☆I personally have been for years but I wouldn't be any less borderline if I wasn't, plus that's none of your business
