BPD

hello fellow sane members

ive jsut been diagnosed with BPD. its shocked me becasue i wouldnt have thought i have a personality disorder

ive been told that DBT is the best form of therapy but dont really know much else, and i dont really know what to do from here.

ive been put on a waiting lidt to DBT group therapy but thats a long list minimum 4 months until then so not really sure how to proceed from here

can anyone share any experiences about where to from here, DBT experiences or anything at all

Hi @Eden1919

I have a question for you.

Were you originally diagnosed with something else prior? Feel free to not answer if you are uncomfortable sharing.

Also, don't have to answer this if you don't wish to.. but do you struggle with bad and very negative self image?

Re: BPD

Thanks @outlander

@MDT No BPD wasnt my original diagnosis my first was anxiety then it turned to depression and anxiety then it became depression, OCD and BPD now my diagnosis is OCD, BPD, Schizoaffective disorder mainly there are a few other things as well going on but those are the main 3. But the BPD has been diagnosed for a few years now. the DBT has helpled quite a lot. and yes i have HUGE problems with my self image it is very upsetting.

Re: BPD

ok @Eden1919 thank you so much for sharing your personal history 🙂
I don't know if I have BPD yet, but i guess i will find out on Wednesday. I feel like it'll explain a lot of the things in my life atm but I guess I will wait and see.
I'm undergoing a very hard time in my life atm. I guess it takes time though right?
Welcome to the thread

Re: BPD

@MDT yes it can take time in my experience a lot of time but i suppose as long as you keep trying that is all that matters.
