I hear you about the expensive part. Krikey I wouldn't even want to begin or think about how much I've spent on pdocs, psychologists, family Dr and medication. And where do I currently sit? Without a job for the past month and a bit. Can we really get better? I don't know if I'm holding on to false hope but I'd like to believe that there are aspects of my life and my personal life that I can improve upon. Losing my job was a real blow and part of me solely blames my old PDOC for never picking up that I had bp AND BPD, which need to be managed separately.

I'm starting DBT in around 2 weeks time and I just have to have faith that although it may not "cure me" it may help alleviate some of the symptoms of BPD.

I'm a teacher and the problem is although they can't ask discriminatory questions in an interview, once you are hired you have to fill out paper work and part of it asks about mental health or pre existing psychiatric conditions grrrrr ..... It's like this "thing" that will keep following me around. Fortunately for me, there's never been a HR person on the interview panel when applying for jobs - ever. My biggest trick when applying for another job is how to explain why I left my previous job ... A private all boys school that pays above normal teachers salary ... And has a damn good reputation in the community .... With a sudden gap of unemployment ... Just can't think about that right now .... I have twice been made to go for a psychiatric assessment by 2 different schools - just goes to show what forced disclosure does because ignorant people know nothing!

My facebook has the tightest of security settings. No one can see anything at all on my fb unless they're my friend because I've set everything to private and have asked people to check it out and it just comes up as a blank page with my profile picture.
