So today I went into my therapist's office shaking like a mad woman and breathing heavy. She said to me "Out of breath I see?" I said "No, I'm extremely anxious right now for two reasons". I explained the first, today is two months since we found my best friend's body, and then told her I had something I wanted to talk to her about. I handed her the list of BPD symptoms I had typed up here . She read the first line and immediately started laughing, she looked up at me and said said, "Wow..this is exactly what I wanted to talk to you about today. I can't believe we had this same exact agenda, that's amazing". We then had a lengthy talk about numerous things on the list and she told me she was going to bring up to me today that she believes I have borderline personality disorder. It felt so relieving to actually have a professional opinion on this finally, I have thought it over and over for so many years. I would go into much detail now but I just wanted to say...well I guess I'll be posting here some. I've got a book she lent me on DBT exercises and plan to pursue DBT therapy once I have to leave here (I'll be graduating so no more counseling center).

Any advice for a newly diagnosed Borderline?
