Hi Rancorous,

I too have a disorder, on top of depression, anxiety and a codeine addiction I have Borderline Personality Disorder. I know it's different from yours but I understand how you feel being lost.

I read up a lot on BPD, bought books and went to every website I could find, I think what you're doing by researching it is good, it's good to be informed.

I find it hard to explain my BPD to people but once I do they accept it and are very understanding.

A few years ago I found a support group for people with BPD and it helped me immensely, I no-longer felt alone and like a freak. The group was for people with BPD and formed to teach us dialectical behavioral therapy to help us deal with our condition. The DBT really helped me. Good news for me is BPD is not a life sentence, mine was brought on from being raped when I was 15. I repressed it for 12 yrs and only started talking about it 7 weeks ago. Since I started dealing with my issue my BPD has been improving.

I'm very interested in what you have learned about your disorder, is it for life or is it like mine and something you can heal.

Much love, support and understanding from your new friend,

Faerie x
