Cristine001, tryingtobeme is right:
Christine you are not alone. Yes you should get some help. DBT is the best therapy for you. You can manage BPD. I do every day. It's tough work but you can take charge of it and not let it control you.
The stigma for BPD is very strong. People here at PC know that BPD is real and that we are very strong people and that we can get through this. As far as telling family and friends. If you don't feel comfortable yet, please don't. Don't cause any unjust harm to yourself emotionally. You don't need that in your life.
I don’t let anyone else know my diagnosis because I feel that it will hinder me away from others and I’m already antisocial from a lot of people, but for me, that’s ok.
I believe that DBT is the best type of therapy because this therapy is customized and aimed at treating BPD mainly and manages BPD and its symptoms. I highly suggest that you try this. I have been very inspired and am now going to be going to college for social work. I have just begun a DBT blog site which is an interactive one. You can request topics and I post pages on the topics, it's interactive which means that when you post a comment, I will post back using strength-based talk. I use it 2-3X a day. I will be doing an internship in the Spring at a psychiatric residential treatment facility and am very happy that I am moving on. I used to be extremely vulnerable, but am now moving past things and am pushing forward. Trust me, you can do this. Please keep in touch, I will help you with whatever you need and you can PM me anytime.

"To dwell in the here and the now does not mean you never think about the past or responsibility, plan for the future. The idea is simply not to allow yourself to get lost in regrets about past or worries about the past or worries about the future. If you are firmly in the present moment, the past can be an object of inquiry, the object of your mindfulness by looking into the past, but you are still grounded in the present moment"
