Hi all, I got diagnosed with Depression 6 yrs ago, but it's obvious there's something else going on, I'm sure i've got Borderline PD, maybe others too, i dunno, BPD is the only one i'm sure on. I've been referred by a Psychiatrist for a First Stage Assessment @ a Therapeutic Community, they deal with PD's, dunno if this means he thinks I have one. Saw my new Psyc the other day for the first time & asked for a sicknote & he asked what diagnosis I wanted putting on it, saying there was some question over a PD. It seems there's so many things link into this, like i'm hopeless with money, it's all gone within seconds & I never seems to keep up with bills, I spend on things I don't want/need. I got a loan once & bought a motorbike helmet for about £400 or £500 quid, I didn't need it, then came home & swapped it for an old one I used to use that my housemate had. I collected these Piggin figurines & had loads, cause I collected them obsessively, not a few at a time, when I had some inheritance I blew it on the huge ones, then gave the lot away to my ex's Mum & Sister who collected them. I get alot of suicidal thoughts, but haven't attempted it, I did self harm for a few years, 8 I think, on & off. But never badly, only once did I need hospital attention, the rest was me hitting myself, which didn't even bruise, weird cause I bruise easy & it hurt like hell, or I used to cut with glass or a knife, but only until it bled, never deep. I only have a few scars from that. My boss said I see things as black or white, which I wasn't aware of. I know I get obsessed & abit addicted to stuff. I feel empty or alone, not sure, and I hate myself alot & blame myself for alot of things. I just dunno but BPD seems to describe me perfectly
