I'm as crap as I always thought I was

I'm as crap as I always thought I was

I had to go to hospital for surgery. On discharge sheet it said I had been diagnosed BPD in 08. 5 years later and no-one had told me. Which I understand cos of the circumstances. Most of what I read about it is either that we r mentally ill, or that we are just dumb or selfish. br>Since learning about it I feel like every urge I've had to hide from world, and the things I've tried to do to make being alone OK, we're in fact right. And the well meaning people who have said to socialize and that OK a good guy ate just spouting facile ribbish.

Thank you ☺
I definitely hope to try and keep quiet more. I waffle on and on when nervous so its a good idea to try.

Hi @MrMayfair

Sorry @Phoenix_Rising for the late response, I only just saw this!

We have a guide about BPD, which you can find on SANE's website. You can find it here

I hope you find it helpful 🙂
