I have agoraphobia and social phobia
These random thoughts pop into my head telling me bad things . usually telling me bad things about myself and sometomes telling me to hurt people ( don't judge me , these are not thoughts i choose or listen to or want going round in my head )
I constantly worry and analyze everything to the point of paranoia
Sometimes i snap and the people i love the most which follows by immense guilt and self hatred and then i apologize
Does any of this sound familiar or make any sense to anyone ? Does it sound like bpd?
Im confused . i have no self asteem .
Nobody likes me and im alone and isolated .
This is not a life worth living . i often feel suicidal . i have self harmed but not recently
Im scared of confrontations
I think i know what people are tginking about me
___

That all sounds so familiar...I think that sounds very much like BPD.

I understand and feel these intrusive thoughts and feelings almost all the time.

Have you tried therapy before? DBT and Schema Therapy are effective therapies for the things that you've mentioned.

What are your thoughts about being diagnosed by a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist?

I haven't been officially diagnosed but I have traits of BPD and may possibly have BPD. I'm in Schema Therapy now for a little over two months but on a month and a half long break now due to my therapist needing a much needed break.

Check this out when you've got some time. Or just try looking up Schema Therapy if this website isn't conclusive enough.

anyway, here it is: Schema Theory

I found a therapist online because mental health professionals are basically almost non existent to be entirely honest.

So maybe that's an option for you to consider in the future.

My therapist lives in the UK. and i've found several others that do online therapy who specialize in DBT and/or Schema Therapy. Some are quite expensive and some are average. Some therapists charge 180-200 pounds an hour its insane.. It makes one think about the poor and underprivileged in our society and their chances with improvement. F****** sad.

But yeah.. I hope you can get some relief and some progress. All the best to you. And let me know if you want some pointers or some contacts.

Its a type of therapy that blends different methods, CBT and bit of psychoanalysis theories (but very lightly) and Gestalt amongst others. In a nut shell, all people learn to experience life through some sort of blueprint or recipe called Schema. These models or Schemas become automatic and get triggered all the time. Some have healthy schemas and they get triggered positively and some learn maladaptive schemeas and get triggered negatively.

Those with maladaptive Schemas are almost boxed in and sadly end up perceiving life through a specific lens, or different lenses simultaneously such as: operating from a defectiveness state of mind or dependent state of mind or a sense of fear of being abandoned or ummm mistrust of others intentions etc. There are 18 Schemas and often people have several maladaptive schemas functioning at once. There are other layers to it as well and it has been developed further, i could keep writing much more but i feel like i will end up writing a college essay haha!

Do look up the link i've sent you in a previous post it is somewhat digested.

This is the introductory book by the psychologist who created this therapy model. It is the older version though without the newer models and layers introduced to it.

https://www.amazon.com/Reinventing-Y.../dp/0452272041

This is the updated model. Schema Therapy : Jeffrey Young : 9780415462990

It's all so fascinating.

You could look up some therapists online that would charge less and possibly be affordable for you?

Do let me know if you want some help looking.

You did say that you are starting therapy though right? What type is it? and Is it your first round at therapy? or have you done it before?

"hugs"

So sorry to hear that. Agoraphobia is tough. Do try as best as you can to go to the dbt group therapy session once you get called in.

Are there any other programs or assistance service that you can part be a part of? Is the dbt group service thing through public health care?
