Borderline Personality Disorder
This is a phrase that comes up a lot in my therapy sessions. I've been told recently that this is what I have. After countless articles and videos, it makes so much sense to me. Like I've finally found a path to take in recovery, of sorts. Yet there seems to be so much stigma and negative talk about BPD. Does anyone here have any experience with this disorder?

I used to have it as a diagnosis, but my diagnosis has since been changed. It used to really carry a huge stigma, but I've found at least more recently it doesn't as much since there are a lot more options for treatment. Have you asked what your treatment plan is and/or what your options are?

Please do not give me virtual hugs unless you are only using the hug function on threads. Thanks.
You can't always keep it separate.
This is happening, this is part of you.

Yeah, I've been in DBT for the last while - just finished group sessions last week, and I'm seeing an addictions therapist as well, who was the first person to suggest BPD to me. I'm going back in three weeks' time to talk with the doctor further.

I'm not really sure. On the one hand I'm glad I'm getting an explanation for why my mental health has been the way it's been for the last 10+ years and I'm excited that I can finally start treating the problem rather than constantly complain and not have anyone listen(the mental health system here is really bad), but on the other hand I feel very nervous about it. Not quite sure what, just general anxiety. Maybe I'm a little afraid that because of this diagnosis some mental health professionals won't want to deal with me.
