Hello my name is Melissa. I was just diagnosed yesterday with BPD, AVPD, PTSD, and Depression. It was an informal diagnosis by the intake therapist but she was pretty confident in it. I will get the formal diagnosis and meds on Wednesday when I meet with the psychiatrist. I know next to nothing about BPD. So I'm glad to have found this place.
I've googled the crap out of BPD since yesterday and was pretty horrified by the description of the illness. I am close to my sister so I called and asked her if this sounded accurate of me. It made me so sad when she said yes because I don't want to be the person it described. My GP put me on anti-depressants a few years ago and my sis told me that some of it has improved since taking the anti-depressants at least. Though I still feel ill...inside.
I'm not great at making friends anymore but I hope to do that here. I want to reach out and find people that understand me. I feel pretty alone.
Soooooooo yeah...hi everybody lol
