Also common: thoughts of suicide”

I think i check the box for almost everything listed above besides self-harm, grandiosity, and narcissism.

I generally feel this has only gotten worse over time and i don’t feel comfortable talking to almost anyone about it because i feel like i just impact people negatively around me.

Go see someone. Dont self diagnose

Go to therapy, for yourself and your loved ones. That s*** is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

I think I have bpd too I've taken tests multiple times and it always says sever bpd
My sister was diagnosed with it too

get a psychiatric evaluation if u want

dont dwell on it though you will only feed into it and convince yourself youre in worse shape than u really are, going to cbt will help with this

self diagnosing can do a lot more harm than good fam please see a professional who can give you a real diagnosis

It’s been incredibly difficult to be able to get help.

What have you attempted that didn’t work ?

Go see your PCP and they can refer you to a Psychiatrist

My friend just came out and spoke on here diagnosis. Never knew about it until her

I have big p**** disorder

Any askers

What’s that op

borderline personality disorder

it really sucks and takes a long time to get a proper diagnosis

yeah, this s*** has really alienated me from a lot of my closest friends

i’ve been able to manage but it takes a lot of self control

meds have been helping but it’s a very lonely journey, i’m v privileged to have a partner that deals with the same symptoms 👍🏾👍🏾

I’ve been on the verge for the past 4 months, it’s been at it’s worst.

yea me as well but the real ones will stay

forgiveness (towards yourself and others) is KEY

a lot of ppl frame seeking help as like “you need to help bc you’re a walking time bomb and will hurt all your loved ones” and have the audacity to say self diagnosis is the real harm

self diagnosis is not cool but recognizing where you’re at mentally can help you a lot and find community

if u ever need 2 chat hmu on dm here and @ me in one of my threads

a lot of ppl stigmatize this s*** but it’s really coming from a place of legit trauma that takes years to really heal. you deserve to go at your own pace, don’t let ppl make you feel like you have to wait on a doctor’s diagnosis to seek the help you need. don’t let bpd define you but recognize whatever you have, you need a little bit more help and support than most other folk out here

godspeed my friend we love you and care about you

yea that was me last year i lost a lot of “friends” but i don’t take it too hard bc i don’t think they were good for me anyway

the really good ppl have stayed and i’m content with the few friends i have they’re all really good people

another big part of this is managing your expectations. you’re probably a very sensitive person and require people who have a lot of patience. this inherently means you won’t be the most popular person in the room, but if you’re honest; doesn’t mean you’re the worst person !

thanks i really needed this.

What’s really aggravating is the intensity of my mental breakdowns was specifically triggered by emotionally manipulative, uncharitable, condescending, antagonistic words that are veiled under the framing of “i care about you but i never wanna talk to you ever again, please go get help”

I can’t properly put into words how this s*** makes me feel like a monster.

You nailed me to a Tee i think.

a problem I need to address is i am way too honest at times and stubborn in my positions but even then i always feel like i have been able to give leeway to conflicts.

yea people say ppl like us can’t self diagnose, yet they give themselves the power to make a monster out of you, just because you’re obviously hurting

like i said it’s a painful isolating experience but with proper healthcare and mindfulness you will come into your own
