Hi Sheila...and welcome

I'm sorry your going through such a stressful time.

I'm 34 years old and have been battling mental illness for many years. At one point I was told one thing...many years later was told another. A fears back I was told that I was BPD and I read a few books and it did fit. I came to terms with it. You have to meet certain criteria. There is a list, which if you look even on here in disorders it breaks it down in more simple terms.

Thing is I don't know that I was ready to see or accept this until now. I didn't want to see or think that I was sick prior to having my son.

I would have to imagine you are under a lot of stress with being in school etc. You took a psychology class and talking about mood disorders going through such stress going through depression you might have felt so down that you might begin to wonder do I have this, which is normal, but it's a good idea to reach out for some help.

This site is great for support, but another site that may be of some real help to you is www.nami.org You should be evaluated or possibly get into some therapy.

If you would like to talk or ask any questions.. private message me anytime.

Take good care.
Eva
