Hi All

I'm new to BPD. I've had depression for the last ten years (since I was 16) but have only just been given the BPD diagnosis. My new psychiatrist (who I only saw a week ago and who I think is going to be absolutely useless to me) decided I have BPD as well as depression, which both me and my counsellor agree with.

If you have any friends....

do you find yourself isolating a lot from them?

do they know about your BPD, and if so, do you feel that they pity you or treat you differently?

do you feel close to your friends or distanced?

My friends don't know about my BPD and I keep them at a distance because I don't want them to pity me. I had a huge panic attack/breakdown last night and they ...

Okay, so yesterday I went to this academic event where I met my ex-academic advisor. For those of you just tuning in, I am talking about a professor who would no longer work with me after I kind of became clingy, tried to befriend her, wrote her about my suicidal thoughts and such.

So to the event I went, saw her coming in, waved (yes, weird, bit it sort of just happened), she nodded at ...
