Hello.

I've just joined so I'm a bit nervous about writing stuff about myself but want to be able to connect with people who understand.

I have GAD (can get depression too) and OCD and currently my therapist thinks i have BPD (or quiet traits of it).

I feel really overwhelmed by having labels put on me and I'd never even heard of BPD! currently i also think my hormones are playing a role with my mental health issues as im severely anxious around that time and have panic attacks every day ( due to see a gynecologist as well).

So i guess im wondering if anyone else here can relate to what I've said so far?

Thanks

Hi @Ocean2 ,

I'm just reading through your posts and wanted to say hi.

In a way, I have to say I'm a BPD expert... not because of any qualification, but because I've had it for so long!

Do you have any particular questions about BPD you want to ask?

As I child, I had a lot of suppressed anxiety and OCD. Overtime, the OCD disappeared, but the unhelpful coping mechanisms remained - i believe that is what has added to my BPD.

You are welcome to joining our BPD community over here if you want: Raising Awareness of BPD - Flipping the Script

Hope to see you around!
