Hello.

When I was first diagnosed in 2001, it felt like a sentence to me until I read more about it, i.e. a book called Get Me Out of Here, about a bpd woman in therapy. There is hope.

I have anxiety and depression, was misdiagnosed for many years.

For me it can be part of the bpd (most likely) and/or a separate thing. And it can depend on things, like if I am going thru Seasonal Affective Disorder, in the fall or if I am coping with a loss.

ty for sharing,

Billi
