I am new to this site. i am so happy i found it, i didnt know it existed. I finally get to see other people's post about their mental health issues. Now i dont feel so alone. A little over a year ago i started therapy for this stupid childhood trauma. I now find out i have ptsd and borderline personality disorder. So there is a name for my behavior and uncontrollable mood swings. .now what? My therapist wanted to me go to DBT therapy, but i dont want to. I have enough to do. so i bought the book. its like first grade level stuff. i feel so dumb.
I am having a hard time coping with these labels. Im ashamed of my behavior yet i cant control it when im triggered. I get so depressed. I go to work, then i go home and sleep on the sofa until its time to go to bed. then i wake up and do it all over again. I feel like my life has no meaning. No purpose.
any advice? anyone else go through this?
thanks
