Is It BPD, ADHD, Autism, or Trauma? Why Labels Aren’t the Full Answer

You finally get the diagnosis.
BPD. Autism. ADHD. C-PTSD.
And for the first time in years—maybe your entire life—it clicks.

You feel seen. Understood. There’s a name for the chaos.

✅ And how to move from “what am I?” to “what actually helps me heal?”
