you have to remember that bpd does NOT define you. you are many more things then that. and, i know this sounds harsh but it is very true, the diagnosis cannot stop you from recovering. you will not have this the rest of your life. it takes hard work but it will get better, trust me. i've been to rock bottom too and i survived. it's going to take alot of work and courage and you will have setbacks but you can't let that get you down.

at first i used it as an excuse for not trying to get better. i skipped therapy. i developped a big drug problem. i skipped school and when i didn't, i got high and went to class. i was a ***** to everyone i cared about until i was alone. i didn't try to change my ways, i just spiralled down faster and faster until i realized my life was going nowhere and i needed to do something. you don't have to let yourself get to that point.
