I'm not sure what they are using for me now. I think EUPD: borderline type or BPD:borderline (rather than impulsive type) alongside a couple of other diagnoses. I think I prefer BPD because it's more vague. EUPD seems to overly simplify the symptoms. For me, I
Do have mood issues but my main symptoms are not related to 'emotional instability' so for me, I'd rather the BPD label, despite it's stereotypes. I think Joe Bloggs doesn't have BPD prejudices and professionals are becoming increasingly aware that EUPD is almost the same condition. I think I'd prefer it was referred to as Complex PTSD.
