I was first diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), in my 50’s. I always knew that there was something wrong with me, that I was different, that my thinking processes were not ‘normal’. I was diagnosed around 2007 with PTSD and depression. Meds just didn’t seem to be making much difference, and the side effects of some were not pleasant. I was hospitalized for a Xanax overdose sometime later.
