I've recently been officially diagnosed, or at least am finally admitting it. I'm feeling extremely hopeless about my illness and chances of getting better . Can anyone give me any tips? I'm seeing my pdoc tomorrow . I feel like I've sabotaged any chance of happiness I may have had . I'm sure things will get better eventually, but a pdoc I talked to said it can take 5-10 years to get better from bpd! ! Seriously? Please someone tell me this isn't true
