I am sorry that your having trouble with therapists, I know that problem it can be hard to find a good therapist that you can mesh well with, after all it is important to trust your therapist in order to enter into a good therapy program.
You truely cannot diagnose yourself, both bpd and PTSD do require therapy, it truely makes a difference.

Thanks.
I disagree about "truely cannot diagnose yourself", though. As I have said before, therapists really give me the weirds right now. I have had quite enough of them and beating my head against a wall, esp. in a system where I cannot afford quality care.
I know my own mind intimately now.
I can diagnose how I am.
I may not be "qualified" officially, but I do know myself now. More than I ever have.
And I am learning techniques to deal with my emotional regulation.
thanks,
Billi
