Piggie has three cysts. Got told the best thing to do at the moment is just keep an eye on them and see if they get bigger, and if needs must operate. I can choose to do it now but shes an old piggie and i would be concerned that she would die under anaesthetic.

Even though you dont feel like going, i would just go - you might feel rubbish now but when you go afterwards you will feel so much better for going, and after all you really want to do it.
If your not sleeping it might be best to see your doctor to see if they can help with that?

When you say insurance i assume you are in america?
You could try herbal sleeping tablets as a starting point, or even google because there are things you can do to help you sleep - but i know how it feels to lie awake and not sleep.
Is it horse riding clssses you are doing?

I think its hard living with people because he is right, hes not your therapist, but maybe you could say your not sleeping well and if he has any advice?
The horse thing sounds fun :)

I am currently:
I was first diagnosed with BPD at the age of 13. I knew enough about psychology (I love it) at the time to inform the doctor that you can't diagnose one with BPD at least until the age of 18. In that case most teens would be Borderline. So he said fine, I was bipolar.
I was diagnosed again with BPD at the age of 24 when I had my breakdown after losing my job. At first I denied it, I was not like my mother (she was diagnosed BPD also).
I've come to except that I am Borderline. I see when I'm displaying the traits and try to stop. I also tell people close to me to tell me when they see the traits coming out. I feel blessed that this is my diagnosis as you can overcome it because it personality disorder. Yes I also have depression which involves brain chemistry, but there are times when that can be controlled also.
I'm rambling at this point. I just wanted to share my story. Thank you for listening.
Hiya, thanks for the shout out. I tried to PM you but it won't allow it. Possibly you blocked me after some cross words about a certain individual several months back. Anyway, I did not want you to think I was purposely ignoring you. I am a little rubbish at replying to things at the moment anyway plus I had to clear out my message box before replying. I have started the STEPPS group recently and it is not as scary or bad as I thought it would be although I am a little upset about how little I relate to any of the other members. I hope it goes ok for you though when you start. Emma x

To Mari - I hope your piggie turns out okay, I know how frightening it can be, so try think positive and it's a good sign she's eating/drinking still.
To everyone else, I hope you are doing okay too, and I'm sorry I've not been posting, I've been in a bad place quite a lot so I don't really have anything good to add(imo, I just feel useless a lot), but if anyone wants to talk, I don't mind and am a PM away, I probably will offer crud advice but I can listen and be there if you need that, even if we're strangers.
Will try to post more and offer more support if I can and such when I feel up to it, but yeah, thought I'd post this.
Just checking in. Am emotionally drained from Downton Abbey.
I have this odd health thing going on but I don't know what it is or even how to describe it :S
anyway, how is everyone? xx

“I told him I was going to betray you, and betray Lyra, and he believed me because I was corrupt and full of wickedness; he looked so deep I felt sure he'd see the truth. But I lied too well. I was lying with every nerve and fiber and everything I'd ever done...I wanted him to find no good in me, and he didn't. There is none.”
I was told when I was 18 that there was a possibility that I had BPD... I didn't want to accept it and didn't see that psych much longer. Well, I'm 22 now, and my therapist acts like maybe she thinks that it could be a possibility... I think I'm to a point where I could maybe accept it if I was told that I am. And I kind of do see why I was told that I might be... I just don't know how to find out if I really am or not... Any advice from anybody here? I really don't know if my therapist or psych from the counseling center I was going to for a long time before actually diagnosed me with BPD or not... Does anyone from the USA know if I could find out or not?
I'm sorry that I'm asking so many questions, but I'm really curious, and it would be really nice to know for sure...
I had a bit of well a major crash od'd and ended up in hosp for crisis admission. Just got back and had first shower in nearly a week. Good news though is that funding for dbt has been approved :)

Im really sorry to hear that Carrie, hope youre feeling as bit better now....but on the plus side..im so pleased your funding has been approved xx
Today is 'D' day for me..where I find things out...not sure things will go well..infact im really pretty certain they wont. Its bringing up all sorts of emotions.
Love and hugs to all
Imperfections - You need to speak to a professional, we cannot diagnose you.
How are you auror?
Sorry to hear carrie i hope you are doing well and im glad you got your funding.
Hope your ok rowie.
Can i ask, why do people always post and say omg have bpd my life is now over. I get its an illness, not a great one at that etc, but i think sometimes peoples attitudes on here (ryl as a whole) make it seem a hell of a lot worse than it is and that having it is the end of the world, and as we have we will never get any treatment or be treated fair.
I surly cant be the only one that thinks different to most of the stuff about bpd posted on here?

Carrie, I'm so sorry I have no credit its so frustrating to not be able to reply to people, i get credit tomorrow. I'm so sorry you felt the need to OD sweetness xxx I'm glad your ok physically, and I'm glad the DBT has been funded, hopefully it will help you xxxx
Rowie, hey darling long time no see, whats going on today?? whatever it is i hope your ok.
Hey Madam Angel how you doing?
In response to your question, i remember when i was first diagnosed (then again when i was rediagnosed) I was so upset because a, i realised I had a mental illness and the stigma in my own head made me hate it, and b, the criteria for BPD made me think if i have those criteria i must be an awful person.
But I got over it, and now its part of who i am and thats that.
I'm ok, boyfriends home after having a knee op and I'm looking after my poorly little man ;)
Thanks Mari and Ferret. I am doing much better than a few days ago and dr put me back on clonazepam for a while again and it has helpe dmy anxiety loads.
I suppose Mari I feel at times that my life is over hence sui attempts/ideas but I am hopeful that can change with dbt if I work at it enough.
My ad change was brought forward seeing I was in hospital anyway so now on a low dose of sertraline and dont seem to have any side effects yet which is good.
