Hello - my first time on. Two years ago I was diagnosed with BPD but did not accept it. I thought the psychologist was overly zealous in her efforts so ignored it and went on my merry way. I was going through a divorce at the time and while all of the signs were there, I wasn't willing to accept it.
I've now spent the last four weeks going through a very volatile break up of a new relationship, and I realized that every reason we struggled was a clear symptom of BPD. In this scenario, this relationship was amazing but he could never stack up to what I needed from a time and attention commitment. We fought over business trips and anything that required separation, and he couldn't understand how I could be so angry one minute and then ready to be just fine the next.
I will seek out treatment this next week. I'm scared as I embark on this journey but hopeful as well. I believe God has finally opened my eyes on what is going on. Any thoughts for the new person that is just coming out?
