Hello everyone, I am new to the forums. I was diagnosed with BPD last December, and am looking for information and treatment options. My life has been terribly affected due to my BPD and the behavior related to this disorder. It has cost me greatly, divorce, loss of time with my children, strained relationships with family, few friends, and loss of a career. Hoping to finally get a grip on life and start making things better for my family. Thanks for any information.

Welcome to PC. I do not have BPD so won't comment but hopefully others will answer your questions.

Hey there, and welcome to PC ! This really is a great place for us borderline folks. You'll meet plenty of cool and compassionate people here.

My first and probably most important advice for you is to treat recovery from BPD as a process and to acknowledge that it takes on the order of years (sometimes decades). And, there is no such thing as a cure for BPD. We have to learn to cope with our problematic symptoms and make life better for ourselves. It's a lot of hard work, with guaranteed ups and downs.

Have you looked into DBT ? It's the one proven treatment option for BPD. Are you seeing a therapist now ?

If you have any specific questions, feel free to PM me. Once again, welcome !

Wow, I am very sorry about your losses from being borderline. Its a tough old world, and little comfort to be found.

I hope you enjoy your stay here, and welcome to PC!
