Hi krisakira - theres nothing to be embarrased about, i can understand your concern about issues such as stigma but as long as your care is being appropriately handled and you're making progress, these illnesses won't define you as a person and you can continue with your life as best you can. You said in your original post that it wasn't fair - im one of those people who thinks, why not me? The universe is sadly indifferent - race, colour, creed, none of it means anything. As someone wiser than me once said, we're never given more than we capable of handling so as bad as you might be feeling at the moment things are likely to improve - allow your medication time to settle and as long as you're open with your therapist, they will be able to adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Illnesses such a BPD improve over time with or without treatment - as for only having one diagnosis, some conditions mean you're more susceptible to others, thats not to mention the amount of illnesses which are alike and have symptoms that overlap. I would try and focus more on the symptoms - in essence labels mean very little. I hope ive been of some help. All the best.
