Hi, im new having trouble starting my own thread so i just decided to start posting anyway.

I was diagnosed as having bpd this time last year. Im incrediably impulsive, especially with money. Ill spend and spend and have gone without food for a few weeks because ive bought stuff i neither need nor want and haven't any money left over. It even extends to things like de-cluttering. I must not hang on to anything for longer than a few months - oh the waste! i just get the urge to throw things away, even if there needed. I have got better though and now just give to charity or family/friends. The worst thing is when you get into trouble with the law. There was one incident last year (nothing overly serious, i never went to court or anything) that still makes me feel so ashamed. I think most people just aren't convinced though - the amount of times ive been labelled as simply selfish, irresponsible, crazy...the list goes on and on. If only they knew!
