Living with BPD

[SandraSims]

Hi, I’ve been living with BPD for over 15 years but only diagnosed 4 years ago. I go from doing really well to absolute disaster. I like most have self medicated with alcohol, which has only made things 100 x worse. I have in the past 15 years slashed my wrist, walked into the sea with no intention to return and the latest (November 2017) walked in front of an artic lorry!! None of these have been my finest moments!

I also have Hashimotos, which in itself is a challenge!

I am doing well at the moment and just wanted to say hi

I'm glad you're doing well! You're overdue for some happy times.

Hey, it's nice to meet you. I'm hoping for a diagnosis of BPD at some point. I think I fit the symptoms beautifully but CPN doesn't think hunting for labels is helpful! x

Hi, I totally disagree, when I got my diagnosis it was such a relief. I also found it so nice to speak with people who were going through the same and to get advise.
