Hi atomicc,

I actually just sent you a PM a little bit ago to check in with you and see how things went. So glad to see a post from you, and how weird that your therapist and you were both thinking the same thing at the same time! Sounds you are pretty tuned into yourself!

I see you've already gotten some great advice from everyone here! Just wanted to so kudos to you for recognizing that you needed help and being brave enough to bring this up to your T! Like Techigal said, this does not change you, you are still the same wonderful you, now you just know a little more about how you can help yourself to feel better! BPD is one of the most misunderstood mental health diagnoses, so I am glad that you have researched this and that you have been given some resources and are even looking for more advice! All great steps! Definitely look into DBT, either individual or group, or even both (some people find it more beneficial to do both at the same time.) Just something to think about. Also, I'm glad you'll be sticking around here, because I find talking with other people who have BPD to be very beneficial for me. You can PM me anytime if you'd like to talk more, or I will see you around the boards!
