Anyone got any good articles to help explain BPD to loved ones?

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do when waiting for therapy.

I was diagnosed when I was 16, but I'm now 19, so I can't use my old doctor, or anything.

but what do you do when you feel as if you cant "just deal with it"

I was recently diagnosed with BPD after being wrongly diagnosed with bipolar disorder for 4 years. ...

What are your secondary disorders that the Borderline PD brought about?

I also have social anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, dissociative disorder NOS and a new one... Anorexia.

I believe that my Borderline has brought about these other disorders. They are all connected in a complex way.

A little background info: I'm 19, and was diagnosed with BPD two years ago. I have been living completly untreated (no medication, no therapy)... not by choice. I want help, it just hasn't been available. And I have been / was in a relationship for the past two months, until two nights ago when my boyfriend left me.

I just don't know what to do. I feel horrible. After he left me (he said because ...

How well can you do it?
