I have been diagnosed with BPD

I too have been diagnosed with epds emotional personality disorder. Don't feel a freak, I felt like this at first. I was on citalopram the doctor changed it to Prozac. And mirtazapine. I am feeling a bit different now don't care what people think as long as they don't know it's not their problem. M very good at painting on a face and changing my whole attitude towards life. I have to for work because I deliver person centred care to a lot of people and do not want to burden them with my problems because I see their need as greater than mine and am great full I'm still here to write this. My depression is improving slowly these things take time and the new medication as to adjust with you whole body. You are not alone on this one don't worry about that.

I have bpd , struggle at min with feelings, moods, food and self harming i have really bad impression of myself its all to do with the disorder im on prozac does help lift mood and there fore can help with other probelms although not a miracle tablet u are gonna have to find other ways if coping ( get me on advice when i cant even advise myself ) but good ways of coping if u can talk to someone dont turn to bad ways of coping if this makes sense im trying to sound not judging but helpful anyway nothing to b ashamed of with having bpd and i hope u can pull through take care xx

Hi! I have bipolar disorder AND bpd along with depression and a.d.d! Not fun! I’d recommend that you do some easy research about the disorder online. (Google borderline personality disorder, for example). This will help you to familiarize yourself with it. The disorder has made my life very difficult. It’s hard for me to “function” like a “normal” person. I’ve never felt whole inside, I feel my identity and personality shifting often, I threaten suicide here and there, sometimes throw temper tantrums like a child, get very very angry if I have a confrontation that makes me upset, abuse drugs, am hyper sexual, take crazy risks, (poor impulse control), feel invincible sometimes, my behavior has been very inappropriate at traditional jobs, etc. Does any of this sound familiar to you? Your not a freak at all; you just have a mental illness that you can get help for. Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy are excellent forms of therapy that could help you. I’d also recommend psychotherapy. I am on meds that help me and I see a therapist. I also attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings, but am still abusing drugs, to be honest. I have difficulty dealing with reality. As far as self harm, I crave being hit and abused by my boyfriend (we do s&m which is consensual, but he has hit me without consent..) I have very dark s&m fantasies for some reason. I’m a masochist. I have never cut myself though but do love getting tattoos. I love the pleasure and pain. Knowing yourself is half the battle. I know I must sound like a mess, but at least I am aware of myself...Take it easy and don’t be so hard on yourself. There IS a lot of help out there for you. Actually...I enjoy being a “freak” and always have haha!! It definitely makes life more interesting
