hello to you all! I'm new here, and in this type of forum. In my teens, a psychiatrist diagnosed me with mild bipolar affective disorder 2 and depression. The family doctor now considers my personality traits as bpd, hence I am here.
My view on my situation is that I have feelings of exclusion from groups, I experience verbal abuse and take offence from it (i.e "you're stupid") and I remain still on how to react, I know little of what my behaviour should be in social gatherings and lack social skills, I have a fear of abandonment and divorced parents with dad absent in childhood, I have low self esteem and low problem solving and task optimization skills, I have 1 year of being single after an intense relationship and creating a new relation seems very difficult to me, and I have 1 year and a half of loosing a person I held very dear.
All of this bring me unhappiness and I find it hard to go by with them. I am medication free - always have been; smoking is my way of coping and integrating in groups.
I am here to find insight on the cause of my distress, acceptance, and new perspectives on how to deal with it by sharing life situations with people that go through similar things. I'd very much like to ask your opinion about situations I find hard to cope with, and I'd gladly give mine if anyone requires it, if that is acceptable to this forum.
I wish you all to have a great week and a good night sleep!

Hi,
Tomorrow is a forum on bpd. Check it out. Last year I started researching my own symptoms of this thing and one of the major things IS fear of abandonment, not sure why in my case, as I had a normal childhood, a very secure one; but it could have developed later. In your case, perhaps the divorce caused your insecurity. I don't know if you are in T for this, but that may help you sort out the social anxieties and causes. I've found self acceptance is important whatever one may think of how others see us. Self esteem can be built through skills and self understanding, I think so anyway.
Best to you,
"help.............."

Hi Roxy!!

Doc John has 2 Chats/ week. There are both held in the Auditorium.

The 1st one is on Tuesday at 9:00 PM (est) to 10:00 PM.

The 2nd is on Thursdays at 3:00 PM (est) to 4:00 PM.

It is a Question & Answer format & they are Great IMO.

Hope to see you there!

Thx DocJohn, this area on PC is nothing short of a godsend for me. To have an area to discuss these issues is awesome.

mlpHolmes, quick thx to you too for the post on the chat times. I've wanted to participate but I've been missing them. The clear post on the current chat times was really appreciated ...

This post was from 2009. Are these chats ongoing? Same time/same place?
TIA
