Hi all, new to all of this, so just finding my feet. I was diagnosed with BPD in 2010, have been suffering with mental health issues for as long as I can remember. I tried CBT earlier in life and when diagnosed with Borderline I tried DBT… really intensive, unfortunately, did not work for me.

Does anyone else experience this gut-wrenching emotional pain? I feel it so intensely.

I feel so alone and desperate, I have lost many friends because they feel 'I bring them down' and that I should 'pull myself together`. I hate being told to pull myself together… if only it were that easy eh?

I feel like a freak, I really do.
