I understand it's scary. That said, I think it's better to go and find out then to avoid it and let doubts and fear fester.

You can do it - the reward at the end will be worth it

It’s mainly I’m afraid of losing people, I’m not sure how to explain it more than that publicly.

Any diagnosis is no one's business but your own and your therapist
And anyone who objects to you becoming better at being you and dealing with the world, I'd personally question their motives
Hope it all helps

Not really but i appreciate the sentiment

My counselor wants me to be evaluated for quiet borderline personality disorder. I’ve been suspecting it for a while but it has a lot of stigma that comes with it.

I’ve been trying to cope better with my emotions,I haven’t done a great job of that tbh. I’m trying to not feel as intensely or at least handle it on my own. Thank you Marina, i’m trying to get through it

Thank you I really appreciate that. I'm doing what I can. I have an appointment with a psychologist at the end of July and until then I have a workbook and some worksheets I can do on my own. I'm still seeing my counselor and will keep doing so until I start seeing my psych.

You're in no way obligated to share any diagnosis with everyone. It's something you need to know, so you can be aware of what it means for you, but there are very, very few people that have any claim to a right to know. I'd argue that list basically runs: significant other, therapist, probably Primary Care Physician (if there's a physiological component and/or medication). Anyone else, I'd say it's your choice, your call if they get told.

I'm aware. I don't really have any IRL support right now until I move. there's a lot happening all at once and I've been 'screaming into the void' as it were. I have a counselor but I don't want to burden her due to some mitigating factors more than my appointments every other week.
