I am very new to Sane but I feel that this forum is essential to help older people who have something to say. I am now 65 and as I said before I was diagnosed with BPD at 55. For years I knew there was something about me that was different. I thought that I didn't belong. I saw so many health care professionals but they kept telling me that I would get better. Wrong....

@DeeDee2 I'm an oldie too! What is your BPD? 1 or 2? I am BPD1 with schizoaffective disorder as well. I am a bit mad at the moment but the board has helped calm me down a bit today so that is good. Talking to @Former-Member has really helped as well.
I would love to know if I am going to get better but seems to be a moving target ...
