So...I am new here. I'm just now getting into researching BPD. Got a diagnosis a few weeks ago. I'm almost 31. But these patterns have been a part of my life since at least teenage years, perhaps even earlier who knows? I want to see if all of this stuff rings a bell with some of you here. And how many people have gone through most of their lives with this disorder before finally getting ...

Hi, I'm new here. I was going to write this long post about myself but I'm sure it's stuff everyone's gone through and I'm kind of tired of thinking about it/self-pitying. I'll try to summarize the important stuff instead. I have BPD: all 9 criteria. I've just been diagnosed bipolar as well, I think it's bipolar 2 but not sure yet.

I've had a breakthrough!

-Over the six months I've gone from being rejected by my inlaws (my only real support other than my wife and kids.)
-To believing I was pure evil and feeling extreme self-hatred for it
-To killing myself (well, I failed at that but I gave it a good effort)
-To feeling like I have no clue what's going on and feeling completely lost, confused and afraid
-To thinking I'm evil again, ...

I've recently been given the 'go ahead' by one of my shrinks to do some self therapy in my DBT skills workbook, so I was wondering who else is doing DBT (in clincal or self treatment) or who'd like to do it via the forum here so we can work on it together?

If you're doing DBT I'd like to hear your experiences with it.
If you'd like to work on the workbook with me, ...

Hi, just wanted to apologise for my earlier posts, I have been in not a good way.

But today I met with my pdoc, and he is the one who is going to be dealing with my case
From now on, no more one off meetings with random doctors
