Anyone that’s been diagnosed with BPD here? (Mental health)

Serious replies only

I’m nearly 30 and had severe depression with multiple attempts since I was 16 and it lasted over 10 years. I have been in therapy for the longest time and my current therapist diagnosed me with BPD and ADHD, and also with dysthymia.

I’m just curious if there’s anyone else diagnosed with BPD and what their therapists’ approach was. While mine has been very supportive through conversation - she gave me a BOOK to read that is meant to be the textbook of this illness and obviously I only read the first couple of pages. Im really keen on working through this but it feels like I’m not getting the support I need. I’m not really seeing the point of just talking about it anymore and seriously considering anti depressants (had them when I was young and hated them, and swore I’d never again) bc im in another really depressive episode again.

Not in a dramatic way. Im a pretty realistic person and just need t figure this out rn.

Am I missing something? Please share your experiences with any therapist recommendations too.
