Hi Im kevin i write my own blog as well so ill try not to repeat what i have said on there and make it a bit more different i was diagnosed last year with BPD after long periods in hospital and attempts on my life and i got sectioned. Now for the beter news so its a bit more constructive. Over the year i have been writing about borderline personality disorder and the reason to learn more about myself and have met a lot of other people with bpd. After a while i came out of the dark revealed who i was i was a bit scared myself with the stigma mental health has on people what did i learn in this year ? i learnt there is a lot of negative stuff on bpd and a lot of stuff that is untrue or just simply manipulated i did blame a lot of it in the beggining on my girlfirend and we split looking back on it i was glad we did the diagnosis has helped me quite a bit. I am next week hopefully going to supported accommodation with my girl firend we are back together and i have learnt so much being apart im going to continue to do the best i can and try and reduce the hospital addmissions i have.


i posted here since i write my life story on my blog so the headline caught my attention

Hello,

My name is Ron, and I'm 48 years old.
I was diagnosed with Intermittent Explosive disorder in 1994, as well as Bipolar Disorder, and Social Anxiety Disorder. I have spent the majority of my life incarcerated, both as a juvenile, and an adult.
I never knew WHY I was doing the things I did, nor did all the psychiatrists & psychologists I saw over the years, since age 13.
I put my family through hell - stole from them, ran away & ran the streets of Chicago for weeks at a time...and now that I've finally figured out what's wrong with me, and been in no trouble since my release in 2001, my family wants nothing to do with me. they just don't understand the complexity of my constant emotional turmoil...Except my younger brother, who has embraced me since our mother passed. We spend a lot of time together, trying to establish a bond we never had as teens, because I was always gone. He also suspects he has IED & BD, but has not pursued it.
