I am looking others who have been diagnosed with BPD. I have been suffering from it for a long time now. After different therapies and medications, I decided to take matters to my own hand and give up and hoped that if i just accepted the fact that I have BPD that it would make my life so much easier. I am wrong. I wanted to know more about it now to cope better.

Hi there I was diagnosed with BPD and Major Depression in 2011, though I have suffered the symptoms for as long as I can remember. I've tried various coping methods, but the only one that has even remotely helped is DBT. You are not alone, and recovery is possible. I personally am not where I would like to be, but I'm doing much better than I was 2 years ago and I'm just taking things one day at a time. |

Diagnosed a few years ago but been suffering since I was in my early/mid teens.
Nothing I've tried has worked I'm afraid so I'm not good with advice. I'm currently on the waiting list for DBT.

I have struggled long and hard for my entire life but only recently diagnosed as well. I have heard great things about DBT and have workbook of my own. The stuff in there is really useful and I'm hoping to join a DBT group someday. I can't say that meds help with my intense emotions or with irrational thinking, but they have helped me feel less depressed.
I also find that stability, having a stable relationship, job or what not can really help with my BPD. Although managing to get and KEEP one of those is the difficult part.

*Raises hand.
But I am clueless on how I ever will (or IF anyone can) "get better". |

I was diagnosed with BPD this past summer and so I know what you're going through! You're definitely not alone. The meds I'm on don't change how I feel totally but they make the managing of my emotions a little easier. I am always here for you if you need an ear!
