it can be quite difficult to come to terms with the diagnosis, i think its about going well I'm not any different to how i was before, so all it means now is i get to learn how to manage things to make it all a bit easier.
well thats what i did.

Welcome to the thread lie-low. Do you have a name/nickname you want to be called by? I'm Lucy, it's nice meeting you. I guess the diagnosis can come as a shock, but try not to feel bad about it or anything. As faulty said, you can take it just as a label that doesn't define you completely! Or you could take advantage of the fact that you have this diagnosis by getting therapy that might help you cope with stuff in a healthy way.
Also, if you feel it might help, you could read about it, find out more about what it means. I have read a lot about it, and for me it really has helped(because I feel much better when I know a lot about things I struggle with).
Here's a link: http://www.mind.org.uk/mental_health...ality_disorder . I found it quite comprehensive and well explained. I hope it helps.
Personally, I think that BPD is mostly about feelings(&their intensity) and thought patterns. And all the 'symptoms' kind of stem from these things. Idk certain feelings make you act a certain way, and those feelings could be triggered by something small that other people are oblivious to, and that's why your actions might seem inappropriate.
How are you Kat? Thanks :)
Faulty, I'm sorry you're not doing so well. I can tell you though that I think most of us have been through that; it happens to me quite a lot, not knowing exactly why I feel like this. X
Lie-low, it can be hard to get your head around. I agree with Sarah though, you are still the same person you were before the diagnosis. It hasn't changed who you are, it just gives the professionals and you a clear direction on the sort of treatment to focus on. How are you otherwise?
How are you Faulty?
How are you feeling now Mark?
Sarah well done for making the appointment. How are you doing today?
How are you Lucy?

Deactivate facebook. I did ages ago. Best thing I could have done.
(Although if you do, make sure people know you are because I had the police round because everyone thought I had died)
Facebook is evil.

I'm fine! Totally fine. I don't know why it's coming out all loud and squeaky, 'cause really, I'm fine!
