Hi, my name is Caralyn and i have just found out i have borderline personallity disorder, it scares me but at the same time i am happy that i know what it is so maybe i can fix it and feel normal for the first time in a long time. hopefully. i am a severely jeleous person, which has ruined all of my relationships, and i get irritated really easily, if anyone has any ideas for how i can get through mood swings and all that jazz that goes along with the disorder, because i have been reading up on it and i have every symptom except trying to kill myself. i have a beautiful daughter and i would like to be as normal as possible for her

Well, imo, in the scheme of things, that's the best symptom NOT to have!
 This is a tough dx in that it's really an "in between" type disorder...but that you have certain states of moods and such... yes I can see where that can cause fluctuations in moods and feelings and attributes. I think the first thing, that is simple but not easy, is to allow yourself to be changeable? Then, if you can try and realize WHEN at what times or situations might you need to be more aware and on guard against becoming irritated (and irritating others?) so you can prevent or limit this reaction, that might be good too. Good wishes, and welcome again

Welcome!
I have BPD and am a mom too. It's hard. I have so many ups and downs. It's been hard on the kids, but I have to keep remembering that it would be harder for them if I weren't here. Therapy is the best thing for BPD, but meds may be used too. I hope you do well, just keep trying for that beautiful daughter. Take care!

Hi Caralyn,
 I also suffer with BPD. There are many here who do, so you are not alone.  I hope you will find what you need. Altered State
