Hi all,

I just wanted to introduce myself - I am new here. I was diagnosed with BPD about 13 years ago, but only started treating it properly about 9 months ago.

I'm just browsing the posts right now, and I thought I'd put up my own experiences here. I've actually (amazingly) stabilized my BPD through meds and DBT, and while it still SUCKS, I am in a lot less pain than I was before.

Anyhow, ifyou're interested, wander over to my blog: borderlinebunny.wordpress.com. I'm going to try and say hi more personally later...

    Thanks for everyone's welcome. Sometimes its nice just to be heard. Even though I think I've made huge progress, as it is with BPD, my emotions go up and down all the time. Its good to know that this group is here for those times when its down.

    Also, everyone feel free to ping/chat with me when I'm online. I'm currently looking for a job and doing some major redecorating with my apartment, but I will get on as much as I can. I also don't know tribe.net very well, so I'll see if there's other ways to connect when I'm not logged in.

    Hope everyone is having a happy day.

    i'm starting DBT now. i'm in a bad place because i've had a good therapist for a year and i've come to trust her, something not very easy for me. i haven't trusted one really since i had one who killed herself 20 years ago. in fact i stopped all therapies during those years. now i have to leave her for a year while i do this. they give me three new therapists and i go twice a week. i'm scared, it's like beginning all over again.

    so please tell me this is really working for you. i'm old and i'm tired of being this way. this is my last resort. they are still not sure if i am BPD, PTSD, or both.

      hey...its going to be alright. I hate change, and struggle to trust new people, especially therapists, however, you will see that in time, things will fall into place and will get better. Just hang in there and know that you are not alone. By talking to these new therapists, it will surely help, by getting oneself out of 'spiralling' thoughts and troubles. You do not have to bear this alone.message if you need to chat.
