This is so enlightening thanks for posting ,I was offically diagnosed with BPD 7 months ago after being trated for Depression ,Anxiety ,OCD and few others in a period of 20 years but what I could never understand was why out of lots of other people with depression I always felt extra emotional, extra scared ect but I have spent my life trying to please everybody to the extent I actually feel other's pain /mood. I am in DBT therapy now learning new skills but if I feel so sad if I take a step back I want to give up, but I have to try for my kids and Husband ,I wish I could just wake up every day and feel ok I am not asking to feel over the moon just ok to get through the day .
