Recently been diagnosed with BPD

Hey there, this is my first post here really. I've recently been diagnosed with affective disorder, the BPD kind, but my doctors are reluctant to diagnose me fully with BPD because of the stigma etc. (I'm under 18)

I'm going to be starting DBT soon, so really I'm just looking for some support I guess?

It's kept me from going to school regularly, and I've been in and out of hospital, and so until I start DBT I was just looking for some friends to chat with about it

welcome aboard. you'll meet plenty of folks who'll give you great advice. my suggestion would be to try to battle the symptoms and not the label.

Welcome, and what a bummer that you've been experiencing such difficulty. I'm in my 14th month of DBT, and I think it can help a lot. Glad to hear you're getting into a program. And that's great advice, to focus on symptoms and not worry about how you're labelled with a diagnosis. Best of luck, and see you around the board:)
