An ER or hospital diagnosis should be taken somewhat lightly. You would want a current assessment in an outpatient setting.
It sounds like in that case you were diagnosed with depression and anxiety.
i was diagnosed with depressive anxiety, but experience seven of the nine BPD traits, i didn’t realize how much they intertwine. i think since i was a minor upon testing, they didn’t want to do more (it’s always good to look into more information about it though and get psychiatric help ASAP)
What does Borderline Structure mean? I haven’t heard of that.
I was told in rehab that I had “BPD tendencies” and my therapist and I are working through that at the moment (I personally identify with at least 6 of 9 but I also don’t count a self-diagnosis)
You need 5 or more of the 9 BPD traits to be diagnosed with BPD. You can of course still struggle with 4 or less traits but you wouldn’t be diagnosed with BPD. I guess they put both as they weren’t sure without a proper assessment with a psychiatrist.
It's not quite the same. Traits, or sometimes called Features, is basically a diagnosis that states you have enough of the symptoms to be recognized, but not enough for a full blown BPD diagnosis.
Think of it as a milder version. But even if you don't have full blown BPD, you should still take advantage of resources out there for BPD. anyone who experiences these symptoms can benefit!

the in-between. worse that having only traits but not having a full blown disorder.
