12 years misdiagnosed: Joanna finally learns she has borderline personality disorder

Joanna went 12 years without a correct diagnosis before being told she has borderline personality disorder (BPD). She describes episodes of panic, crying for 12 hours straight, losing consciousness and catastrophic thinking. BPD is notoriously difficult to diagnose because its symptoms overlap with many other mental health conditions.
