I walked off my job today. I don't know why. I almost started crying on the floor, all I could think about was getting my bottle of acetaminophen and ODing. So when I went for my break, I went outside, called my best friend and started crying on the phone for half an hour... Then I went and sat in the bathroom and cried for another hour until I got up and just walked home without telling anyone at work.
My dad has no idea what's wrong with me and I don't know how to explain any of it to him. Every day I freak out on him, usually over the simplest things, I treat him like crap and I'm pushing my best and last friend away. I haven't gone to a professional yet, I keep meaning to but I have no idea who to go to or where to start. I've been checking off every symptom I have, every little thing I do and feel and think and I wouldn't doubt it's Borderline PD I'm suffering from. Is what happened to me today a common symptom of BPD sufferers? |

Possibly. But that is why getting professional help is so important so these episodes don't repeat themselves. So you can in more control of your moods. Go for help as soon as possible. Good luck.

Sounds pretty overwhelming Am. I hope you are feeling better. Might be best to start with your family doctor. She or he can refer you to a specialist to get a proper diagnosis so you know specifically what you are dealing with. You should probably get a full medical work up too so other possibilities are explored. Thyroid issues can trigger lots of stuff that look like other things. Keep us posted.

Thanks. Thyroid, eh? I checked it out online, when I talk to my doctor I suppose I should ask about a thyroid test too. She's incredibly thorough, it took my about five years to find such a good doctor but it was totally worth it... *sigh* I joined this site to try and find the confidence to go out and get help. I think I'm ready. Thanks guys. I'll keep you posted.
