I haven't been diagnosed with BPD but my psychologist thinks that I have it. I was sacked from my last job because I was constantly being admitted to hospital because I was suicidal or having trips to A&E for overdoses and general poor mental health. I don't think struggling to work is confined to BPD, it's hard with any mental illness but it isn't impossible to work well. Although I was and continue to be quite ill at that point, work was still beneficial for me as it helped me to have a routine and something to get up for in the morning. Do you enjoy your work? Can you speak to your manager if you are struggling? Take care.
