Borderline personality disorder

i was diagnosed with this a long time ago. it’s a rough road, but it can be manageable. you won’t ever be “cured”, as you can’t cure this disorder, but eventually you can possibly be able to get to a point where it won’t affect you the same way it used to

Years ago, I met 2 or 3 people on the Experience Project site who I think had the same diagnosis. They did have success in their professional lives. One became a successful psychotherapist and the other is now a rising executive.

I think as it relates to how you feel about yourself, It is important to remember that borderline personality disorder does not define you. It is a diagnosis based on a number of symptoms you have experienced, so that you can benefit from the appropriate treatment program to improve your quality of life.

In this sense, it is really no different than a diagnosis of diabetes, or some other physical illness.

You still have the choice to decide the kind of person you want to be in your own life. But awareness of the diagnosis may help empower you to live your best life.

Nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed of ❤

Take a step back for a moment. How did you feel before the Dr told you you had BPD?
There is no need to be embarrassed. If you fit some of the criteria or have symptoms of BPD, then that's a start.
It is treatable.

@Creolequeen 🤔why should you feel ashamed by this is non of your fault long as you can accept and deal with it that what matters
