Hi all. My husband and I both have borderline personality disorder. He has been in therapy off and on since he was 19 and handles himself WAY better than I do. I am newly diagnosed and finally realizing/admitting my sickness. I am finally taking responsibility for myself for the first time in my life and I finally see light at the end of my tunnel. However, I put myself and others through a phenomenal amount of pain to get here and I am constantly battling my negative feelings towards myself because of it. I cannot dwell on those feelings or I will sabotage myself like I always have in the past, so I am here to share my feelings and interact with people who understand. Looking forward to it!

Thanks for introducing yourself here too.

It always helps to discuss our thoughts feelings and experience with members who share our diagnosis.

BPD can certainly take its toll on interpersonal relationships.

But this is something that can be managed.

Best wishes moving forward.

The first step towards change is to acknowledge the behaviour that exists.

I believe you are accomplishing this first step.

Keep moving forward.
