Something is not right maybe?

J212Contributor13 Oct 2023, 11:48 am AEDT

Something is not right maybe?

So I’ve been diagnosed with BPD.

First of all, I’m struggling to get into a DBT program.
From what I can gather, my case is not considered “severe” enough for immediate intake and it’s going to take about 6mth before I can start.

Meanwhile; my partner is attempting to be supportive whilst they are probably struggling with their own (potentially undiagnosed) mental health issues; but I feel like their words and actions are triggering me. We have previously spoken about breaking up and maybe my BPD was talking then, but I can’t shake this feeling that it’s really not meant to be anymore.

To add to all of this stress; my therapist officially discharged me from their care and now I’m kinda just left with no one until (or if) I start a DBT program.

Help?

Re: Something is not right maybe?

Hi @tyme.

I have no concerns about BPD being untreatable, I’m just really struggling with the current situation I’m in. It seems all doors i go knocking on are closed.

I have a follow up with my GP next week to try and explore more options.

Everything I read points to group sessions being the most helpful part. I just can’t seem to get into anything at the moment.
