Has anyone on the site been diagnosed with this (apart from the person who has already in boxed my).
I would like to hear from you via inbox if you prefer- I particularly want to know about how you received a formal diagnosis Was it a hard slog? Were you treated for other things prior- has it really changed your GPs or Mental health teams management of your case.
At the end of this post I will post a link which gives more details on what BPD is. However in short Anxiety is one of the symptoms (hence me posting in here having consulted admin) as well as frequent mood swings - similar to Bi-polar but in the sense you can be happy ecstatic one hour but suicidal the next. Not a lot of information is really out there about diagnosis- I have my suspicions about myself as many test and other factors that generally feature for a diagnosis are part of my history.
Please note that this site is from MIND a mental health website and does discuss some unpleasant situations which I know that some may be uncomfortable reading about.
