I was doing an online mental-health quiz the other day (lol I know, I know) and the result was BPD. And then I read up on it and it really did seem to fit, y'know? Does anyone have any experience with this condition and could maybe help me try to figure this out? Depression and bipolar never seemed to ring quite true and I wonder if this is the answer...

Your best bet is to see a mental health professional, if you have access/can afford it. The internet can give you a good starting point of where to look, but only personal interaction with a real doctor can get you the firm diagnosis and medical treatment that you may need.

I wish you the best.

Thank you for the good wishes, they mean a lot!

I live in a country with free healthcare but my concern with going to see a doctor is that a. they are notoriously bad when it comes to mental health - if you're unlucky enough to get someone unsympathetic you'll get laughed out of the place or just given antidepressants you don't need and b. from what I've read, BPD is very easy to misdiagnose and once that's in your medical history it doesn't come out and can cause all sorts of future complications with job applications, adoptions etc. :/

I'm a bit scared of experiencing one of those until I'm fairly certain I've diagnosed myself correctly (though that's easier said than done, I know!)

I was diagnosed BPD in 1998 and I still don't understand it. I was in treatment for a couple years and none of that made any sense, either. I was told that inability to get along with other women was part of my disorder and so they assigned me a woman doctor who also happened to be the most condescending person I've ever met. I never got anything out of therapy with her or in the groups I had to go to for a while. I eventually stopped treatment entirely and ever since I have just worked on my anger management, disassociated feelings, and anxiety by myself. It hasn't been very good for me, tbh. If I could afford to get treatment now, I would. I wish I could go back in time and make the case managers I was stuck under understand that I really had no idea what was going on with me or how to get better.

I hope you have a better experience, nonnie, and I wish you the best of luck!

I'm so sorry you went through that - there is not a lot in the world that's worse than someone working in mental health care when they don't care! I'm really grateful for your well-wishes and I really hope you're managing okay by yourself. Sometimes you are your own best doctor, that's what I sometimes think...
