Hi, my name is Becky and I've joined because my therpist believes I have BPD. He had actually been thinking it for awhile and jut wanted to wait until the right time to bring it up. He really educated me about it. After going through the symptoms I have to say it sounds EXACTLY like me. He and the psychiatrist had both been picking up on my borderline behaviors. I am actually scared to confront this. It is so new to me. I knew I had major treatment resistant depression, but this is so overwhelming right now. My therapist decided he had to bring it up now because I was beginning to make some really destructive choices. I've been to the point many times of actually wanting to hurt myself. How do I begin to fight this.

I don't know that a personality disorder is something that should be 'fought' - maybe more that it ought to be acknowledged, then addressed appropriately in order for one to become more healthy.

Becky, you posting what you have here is a huge beginning to taking the proverbial bull by the horns and making the moves necessary to get a handle on problematic symptoms and adjust the horizontal of those destructive thoughts.

You're doing good...!
