Hi, I'm Mish. I've recently been diagnosed with BPD and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I've been having a lot of trouble dealing with it and it just seems worse now that the feelings and things I've been experiencing has a name to it. I've never really been one to reach out on forums like these for anything, because I get daunted and I can be really shy. Joining this message board was a big step for me and it took me a few weeks to work up the courage to do it! So I guess I want to say hello and to introduce myself  |

Hi Mish
Welcome to the message board. I understand totally how you feel, I was exactly the same. But there are some great people on here who understand what BPD is like.
Well done for taking the big step and coming on here. Feel free to look around the site and chat to others.
Take care,
Jo

Hi Mish and welcome to the message board. Unfortunately there's not always a lot of traffic on here, but I'm sure others will make you welcome when they're about. People react to their new diagnosis in differing ways. It can be daunting at first, especially if you have preconceived notion of what having BPD means. Treatment may seem to be out of reach or might take too long, but it's well recognised today that treatment can vastly improve the quality of life for the sufferer. If you live in Melbourne or somewhere nearby, there's a support group meeting which is held on the last Monday of each month and we'd love to see you there. The details can be found here..... borderlinesupport.com.au/supportgroup/I think most of us were very shy when we first set foot in the door, but at the same time (at least for me) it was a great feeling to be in the company of others who had the same disorder. Anyway, glad to "meet" you and if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Kind regards, Rose. |

Thank you everybody, I will be posting on other boards and slowly getting involved I feel really grateful to have found this board because I was feeling pretty alone! It's so wonderful to know that there is support out there like this! |

Hi Mish,
Welcome. I too am recently diagnosed with BPD. I have spent years searching for answers, nothing I was diagnosed with in
the past seemed to fit until a couple of months ago. Don't be daunted this place has helped me so much I hope it will help you too.

Don't be daunted this place has helped me so much I hope it will help you too. Thank you! I am pretty young to have been diagnosed (at least, my psychologist tells me I am. I'm 24) so I guess maybe that contributes to my being a bit nervous! But all the support I've already received on here has made me feel a lot better I'm glad it has helped you! It's so comforting to know that support like this exists |
