I don't know where I belong now. Haven't been on here in a while and now I don't know which forum to post in as I was originally dx'd with bipolar around 3 yrs ago. Now my psychologist thinks I have bpd. We looked at a questionnaire and it appears that I have moderate to severe symptoms. She also wants me to think about trying dbt or schema therapy which we are going to look at more closely in our next session which is not until July 9th cos she is away! I feel like I'm in limbo with not being able to discuss her thoughts on me having bpd. I don't really feel I have the right to post here as It's not certain I have bpd but I don't know what else to do.

I really don't know how to feel about the possibility of me having bpd, I feel kind of numb. I guess I'm worried ppl will think I'm a freak but that's not to say that I think ppl with bpd are freaks its just that I know how misunderstood mental health problems are. And how some ppl perceive ppl with these problems. Ppl can be so cruel especially when they don't understand something.

I really do feel that I don't belong here but I'm hoping others may be able to help in some way. Even if just a small way. Thanks for reading

You are welcome to post here. We all have dealt with the uncertainty of a dx, and understand the doubts, fears, and numbness. If you are unsure about dbt and schema, there are some good online resources that can help explain a little until your psychologist returns. Again, feel welcome here.

Thanks, I was beginning to feel rejected by the forum but I guess others are probably feeling the same as me in that they don't feel able to give any advice at present. I guess I'm just feeling a little insecure and unsure

You have the right to post anywhere on these forums. It's not like there is a membership criteria to post on the bpd forums Also there are many who are unsure of their Dx and it's quite appropriate to post here to get more information and sometimes just to vent. Don't ever feel like you don't belong here. BPD or not, everyone is welcome - I think most of us, if not all, feel that way.
