Hi

Hi im new here and i wasnt sure if there was a page for introducing yourself.

I am Kerry, 22 from Scotland.

I have recently been diagnosed with BPD after over 35 admissions to hospital with overdoses and 2 1 weeks stays in the psychiatric hospital in the past year.
I have been relatively stable this past 6 months as i have had a good friend who has bipolar and she has helped me through alot. She was a bad self harmer as well as myself and since chatting to each other neither of us has seriously self harmed and neither have self harmed at all in the past 2 months. It is good to have each others support and i feel it helps alot.

I fear abandonment and nearly got married because i felt i had to live a life people expected of me. I finished my 4 year relationship in January and it was the best thing i ever done. Surprisingly i never cried once, but i have cried many times with fear of losing my best friend even if i know im being silly in my head, i cant stop the physical symptoms of feing abandoned.

I hope to meet other people like myself here and if people are on meds or any form of professional help.

I am currently on 20mg of escitalopram, 250mg twice a day of depakote and 10mg of amitriptyline for sedative effect as and when needed. I have also been referred for psychotherapy.

Kerry

p.s sorry if this is in the wrong bit.
