Hi my names Josie, I'm 19 years of age. I have had a history of drug and alcohol abuse and when I was younger I suffered from child abuse. I fell into depression about 2 years ago and have been on anti-deppresants for almost 2 years. My doctor referred me to the 'mental health team' and they suspected I may have EUPD (bpd). So whilst waiting for a report I read up on 'bpd' and I know I fit alot of the symptoms and tendencies. Just received the report back and all it stated was that I needed to go to a drug and alcohol abuse 'group'. How do I go about getting a proper diagnosis and the help/therapy I need? I just don't feel like anyone is helping me in the right way. Also has anyone had experiences with CBT/DBT, are they successful methods of treating bpd?..
