I don't relate to PTSD either, but when the psych explained it to me it made much more sense.

I, however, may not have made much sense.

No that makes more sense. However my viewpoint still stands, I feel BPD suits me better than the other terms. But can understand why these other terms are more used by others.

That made more sense in my head, sorry if the wording seems off!
