I had previously undiagnosed BPD that went buck fucking wild. Not trying to scare you, but I want you to be prepared.
I would recommend checking into your family/gene donors history for any mental illness, especially those that are more common with women (BPD, in my case) and discuss with your therapist and support network.
For transmasc, check the history of men in your family/gene donors.
realizing my mother was diagnosed with BPD and I strongly suspect both of my sisters to have it as well

If it helps, I feel like if I had seen it coming I could have mitigated most of the fallout, and I'm in a much better place now that I'm past the worst of it.
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to try to answer them~
I have three sisters and two of them have diagnosed BPD. Welcome to the BPD family member club 😎. I got lucky not to have it.
Doesn't help that one of my biggest fears was always "I don't want to become my mother!" Lol
