*Waves Hands over her head* I'm borderline over here over here. I am getting better but have my days still. This last week has been bad because I haven't had the structure I need due to being on Spring Break and having surgery. Next week should be better I go back to school and am having my staples out of my knee so I can drive.

Yes me!!!
Must admit to being very slack tho and to the fact that I really know nothing about it... apart from having read the dx criteria and fitting it all VERY well!!!- should really become more proactive... But as this is not my main dx all the focus seems to be 'there', not 'here'!!

I was diagnosed with bpd when I was about 18 or 19. I don't have too much of a problem telling people that I have anxiety problems, or even telling people that I am bipolar. (It's not something that I walk up to a stranger and tell, but if I get to know someone, and it is relevant, I am okay with telling). But I never tell people about a diagnosis of bpd. There are too many preconceptions. I work full-time, and am in my last year of graduate school to be a therapist. I don't think a lot of people would think that is possible of a 'borderline.' Unfortunately, I think with bpd, over a lot of other disorders-- people tend to forget that there are different levels of functioning. Anyway, welcome to the forum!

All of my therapists have spared me the actual dx of BPD, but it's totally me. None of my other diagnoses account for all of my symptoms, particularly the severe dissociation and paranoid ideation, let alone jumping straight to suicidal if someone challenges me on the wrong thing, even if I was fine a minute before.
I'm also working full-time and in my last year of classes before my internship as a therapist. Wow, that's scary, especially after the last several weeks when I've been slipping downhill pretty fast. Usually I manage to contain my garbage, at least while I'm acting in a professional role. I think that my other personality disorders temper the BPD symptoms a lot too. Dependent personality disorder includes the tendency to appease people and smooth things out rather than risk losing a relationship by acting out, so I swallow my rage and turn it inward. Avoidant personality disorder includes the fear of not being liked or accepted, so that also encourages me to keep it in to be afraid of showing outward symptoms that would be inappropriate and get me rejected (well, most of the time - there is a point where I don't care anymore). You're in good company here.

I was told after my neuropsych tests that is possible I have this. I just took a quiz for it, too, and lit up like Times Square for it and Avoidant stuff, just like on the neuropsych tests. I also have PTSD, lots of depression and anxiety. How do you treat this? I know nothing about it at all.
Thanks, RF

I am new and I have bpd. I just got out of the hospital b/c I was extrmely self destructive and the self harm was out of control. It is a lonely place to be but it can and does get better with a lot of hard work in therapy. If you need to tal just PM me ok? If anyone wants to talk. I was diagnosed at 27 and am 33 now. I am so borderline that its not even funny. Would be glad to talk to anyone.

I have been diagnosed with BPD as well as bipolar. Not a very nice combo but I've seen it being diagnosed together quite a lot.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
