in Introduce Yourself
I would really like to have some people on here to talk to about their experiences etc and I will support them all the way.
Yesterday I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

(PERSONALITY disorder not eating disorder)

    i am borderline

    But I've been mis-diagnosed numerous times with bipolar I, II and rapid cycling.

    I also have post traumatic stress disorder. High anxiety, severe chronic depression, the whole bit.

    i know someone who has it, or had it, i'm not sure we don't talk about it much. i'm not sure it's legit, but she told me it is, so that's what i assume. but i knew her as a different person for a year or so before i knew who she actually was. pretty intense stuff.

    I know you just got diagnosed but did they suggest doing dialectical behavior therapy? I have done tons of research on the subject. Read lots of books. The research is so far behind unfortunately. I have yet to find anywhere I can go to get the proper treatment. Also, I've been on nearly every psych med available and none have worked. There is no magic pill. I know how hard it is.. I really feel for you <3

    Yes I will be doing DBT and hopefully it helps! It's so nice to see that we can all support each other.

    Borderline is known for misdiagnosis to things such as mood disorder and more when really it's borderline.

    Hope everyone is going strong :heart:

    Bipolar II here along with anxiety attacks Diagnosed early '06. I finally got on a good plan of meds in '10 fortunately, but I really hope I can get off of them one day (unlikely :sad: ). Unfortunately it was exacerbated by a miscarriage a few years ago and the current stress of going through a divorce. Fortunately my friends and family are very helpful and supportive and keep an eye on me so they can let me know when I'm a little crazier than normal :laugh:
