I'm not just real familar with BPD but I'm curious to know others stories about it. I am a cutter, and here lately have been acting completly unlike myself....eating, quit my job, spending, sex, cursing and a lot of drinking. I don't know why I am doing all of these things b/c it makes me feel ashamed ect...I'm not the type of person to get extremely angry as far as showing my anger but I'm to afraid to reach out for help because I don't want to hurt or disappoint the people who love me....and I don't see my pdoc/therapist until wed......i'm kinda scaring myself.....i feel as if I'm going straight down hill fast....sorry I just needed to say that...thanks for listening

<font color="#000088">When I'm scared and falling apart,and feel like I'm going to crash,I'm afraid to tell anyone to. For the same reasons,I'm worried about letting down the people that do care about me ,and disappointing them. But then I have to take a step back and realize that if I don't ask for help,and end up crashing, then it's not only going to disappoint them,but it will end up hurting them in the end if something really bad happens to me because of it. And that they would rather see me ask for the help I need, than end up losing me if I crash and fall,because I was too afraid to disappoint them by admitting that I was having problems in the first place. You see what I mean? If they really care, they would rather see you get help, than suffer alone,and then risk crashing,and possibly losing you for good! I hope this helps in any way. </font>

Im not bpd, but have some symptoms. I've heard it is just an indicator of shame and fears that are underneath. Are you in therapy?

Yes, my pdoc does all my therapy...i've opened up to her about some stuff but I'm scared to tell her everything, I just had a bad experience with my last therapist just suddenly firing herself, and I'm scared to get to close to this therapist...what if she leaves or something happens?

I'm BP and BPD there are a couple of symptoms that overlap...

I think you just need to plunge in with new pdoc...otherwise you just continue along as is...they have heard a lot...it might be hard for you to say it...just do it. OK?

By the way welcome to PC...
