I Have Borderline Personality Disorder

I was diagnosed with BPD about 4 months ago. When I got my diagnosis, everything in my life started to make sense. This doesn’t make it easier and it doesn’t make me feel any better about it. I feel so alone. I don’t know anyone else who has this and want to meet new people and talk to those who do! Don’t hesitate to message me, I would love to meet new people.

Borderline is one of [i]the most[/i] stigmatizing and misunderstood diagnoses you can have. There is even a move to re name it more accurately. Severe Emotional Disorder I think is what they want to call it. I like the sound of "complex PTSD" better though.
