A reminder EUPD is NOT the new name for BPD.
It is the old name for BPD.
EUPD no longer exists in ICD-11, the latest revision of the diagnostic bible we use in the U.K. and half the world.
BPD is no longer a diagnoses either but is a TRAIT QUALIFIER that gets added to PD 1/2

The hardest work l've ever done wasn't paid.
It was staying alive when I was at my lowest.
It was caring for someone I loved.
It was surviving when survival felt impossible.
Work takes many forms.

I wasn't sure what to say for eating disorders awareness week but I do want to say that full recovery absolutely is possible!! I had AN and atypical AN (same thing) for 23 years and tried so many different approaches before I was finally able to recover. Please don't give up!
