Last week I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Im not really sure how I feel about it. I mean, I've always wanted to know what was wrong with me, but now that I know, I guess I'm not feeling the sense of relief I expected. Idk, but my therapist is getting me involved in a DBT group with other teens who have the disorder or traits of it. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the disorder and has advice about treatments or medications that were helpful or unhelpful.
I was once diagnoised with bpd. I don't know if I have outgrown it or if that therapist was wrong. This was several years ago and many different medications ago. Don't let titles rule your life. I did for many years. I wanted to know what the f- was going on with me. Now I just concentrate on living day to day. I do and did lots of therapy. It has really helped me. But I must worn you, find the right therapist, don't be stuck with one who is not moving you along. I changed therapiist three times in order to find the right one. I have been with him for 9 years. With bpd, I think you need one that you can get a hold of at anytime. I'm lucky I found one like this. However your therapist sounds like they are really trying to help you. A support group sounds great. I couldn't find one in my area. Do you find that you don't remember things? Also I found that my personality became the one that corresponds with the person that I waswith? Do you disassocite from life? These are the things that ring a bell for me. I am now doing so much better. I am becoming my on person. Have faith that things can get better, it I am prove of it
