Who else here has BPD, known as borderline personality disorder?

So I was diagnosed with bpd about a year ago maybe more. I’m just now getting into therapy and it’s been helpful so far. My question is what is helpful to others who have BPD? I’m just trying to find solution so I stop exploding and stop with the impulsive decisions. What do what do y’all do? What are ways that you get out of your head? What do you do about your favorite person situation? What do you do about the splitting?

Wow I'm sorry you had someone attack you on a mental health post.

And honestly I've never been to a therapist even though it would be good for me but have you tried breathwork? There's tons of different things and kundalini yoga.

I would say anything that challenges you. I'm not a doctor but wish i had answers sorry.

I have only known one person with borderline personality disorder and to be honest I don't know that much about their condition. I think you have the right attitude and the right spirit. Not letting people harass you and/or allowing them to affect your emotional strength. 👍🏻😊

Some people here (and I won't mention any names because they stand out all on their own) are just plain ignorant and misery always loves company. They're not happy unless you're making someone else feel miserable.

I have had several partners who have the condition. Since having dated them, I have received awards and certificates for my studies on the topics of personality disorders, mental health conditions and learning disabilities, from various colleges.

Due to all of this, I have a profound understanding of the condition. Feel free to DM me if you would like some help, or just a chat.

I do not have BPD, but have loved ones that do. I have a mental illness as well (OCD and Depression).

What generally works is Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. Is your therapist doing that with you?

For me, despite not having BPD, I have found mindfulness helps for "negative" emotions.

@basilfawlty89 thank you so much

I have BPD and DID.
I was diagnosed 2 years ago. Don't believe those who say that psychological illnesses are lies.
Sassychick420 · 31-35, F
@ForensicExpert I’m not they are full of it

Yeah, I don't have an official diagnosis yet, but the facilitator at my court ordered anger management group a couple of years ago told me very specifically that she "wasn't qualified to diagnose BPD", meaning I definitely have it.

Unfortunately, I really have no clue what to do about it. I'm trying to get an official diagnosis from someone, but with Medicare, it's not easy.
Sassychick420 · 31-35, F
@LordShadowfire your absolutely correct. It’s difficult getting any kind of diagnosis when you’re on Medicaid. Medicare

Not what i got but hope you find solutions to adjust to it.

@Sassychick420 I do try to understand things, I guess you have the impulsive type. I know someone who has been told they have bpd but not sure how they deal with it other than some meds they were given.
Sassychick420 · 31-35, F
@Subsumedpat yeah just put on a new med still adjusting
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@Sassychick420 I bet that is difficult, trying on e after another to find one that works.
I would guess you are not alone

There is no such thing, just system fabrication and that system is ending

@basilfawlty89 Did you ever get Luna to answer as to whether or not you can get a variable rate or fixed term mortgage?

there is nothing wrong with you. stop it. you are just looking for a easy way to be worthless and lazy in your life and you just said oh this sounds like something i can fake this. grow up and stop acting like you have these fake issues
SatanBurger · 36-40, F
@Summer2025 Yeah but you feel a certain way about yourself to comment such ugly things to people, you'd have to. You can't comment what you just did and not have something going on. So you're def not in a place you want in life. Don't make your weakness so obvious 😉

@Summer2025 I think I've just met my new special friend for the day.
