Thank you for the responses.
I initially went to the psychiatrist in hopes of getting a proper diagnosis. I thought if I had a diagnosis, I'd be directed to the appropriate resources for help. I got told BPD traits, but seems too environmental. I was given a script for Prozac and sent away. Reading my story, nothing seems environmental. It seems like one giant pattern/cycle. I feel like with the questions he asked he made that call based on the fact that there was no abuse in my childhood... Everything started in my early teens.
I definitely get depressed. It's hard to get out of bed some days.
I also have anxiety. I don't like leaving my house and struggle sometimes when I'm in crowds. Usually, it doesn't affect me too much because I'm a bit of a homebody anyway. The only time if affects me is with my dogs. I train them in various competitive sports, but have been unable to compete so far because I just get too anxious.
I live about 45 minutes from Vancouver, but there are some closer fairly large cities that I can check out for support.
I feel almost shameful reaching out for support. Like I won't be taken see again.. Iunno.
