I realize that BPD is getting more known and more pro's are learning about it, but the time is not now. In my city, it still is embryonic knowledge and not within my financial means.
Sorry to be harsh and/or act like someone with an attitude. But it's the truth. I am exhausted of chasing my lost cause, therapy (for the moment).
when I see ads on tv about BPD (for the sufferer, not just for the "non") and when I see more evidence that BPD is being treated more, in the poor community, not just the well to do community, etc., maybe I will try again. Idk.

I get it and I don't blame you, particularly if you've already been down that road. I never even heard of the disorder until this past February, and the instant I did and saw the traits, I knew I'd discovered what I'd been struggling with my entire life. And I also feel for those who are struggling against an unknown foe. So many people have BPD and don't have a clue, often because of the preconceived notions many "professionals" have of the disorder. There are supposedly as many BPDs out there as there are Bipolars, but almost EVERYONE has heard of Bipolar and very, very few have heard of BPD. That's partially why, when someone finds this forum and wants help or info, I try to offer that. It's hell feeling alone. I just have to be careful because I empathize with people very easily and don't need to trigger myself.....
