My name is Jen, I'm 22. I was diagnosed with BPD over the summer and really confused about the whole thing. I have had this disorder since early teens and now I'm in my early 20s and just finding out! I'm trying to decide whether to take SSRIs and wonder if anyone else has or is taking them. I've thought about medication but I think I would be hysterical if I were to gain any more weight. I think its great there is a support group on here, otherwise I dont know who to turn to about this. ummm my symptoms range from cutting on occasion to eating to the extent I'm sick (anything I can justify as being self destructive to myself, I feel disconnected from the world, I am constantly depressed. etc. I look forward to chatting with everyone
