I have borderline personality disorder. Does anyone else have it? How do you manage it? I'm seeming to be losing hope. Anything would help.
1 minute I'm euphoric. Next minute suicidal. When I get triggered I get sent over the edge. Typically I can manage throughout the day but I'm trying therapy and it triggers me and I become very suicidal
What about meds? I've got this, too, and it is difficult to manage, but not impossible. I applaud you for doing therapy.I have borderline personality disorder. Does anyone else have it? How do you manage it? I'm seeming to be losing hope. Anything would help.
Damn it's hard figuring this out at around late 30's or so and I can't imagine finding out at 56. It was hard enuf to figure out on my own through YouTube. I have the more hidden version when it comes to outward appearances but it's just as debilitating. I feel like my life has been stolen by it. I felt very angry that nobody diagnosed it early when I was exhibiting problems. I did talk about my childhood when I attempted to seek help when I recognized that something was wrong with me.I am 56, and just diagnosed with BPD 11 months ago.
I did find some good information and self care tips on this website:

I'm not manic or psychotic so I guess meds sort of work.
I tend towards hypomania rather than full blown mania but I get psychotic so probably schizoaffective was the correct dx. It did used to be BPII, thoughI hope so. You don't get manic episodes or psychoses If you have bipolar disorder II, though.
