[Mending Me]

I have BPD, I was unofficially diagnosed at 15 because at that time they weren’t allowed to diagnose anyone with it before 18. As soon as I turned 18 it went into my diagnoses. It is a very hard disorder to live with. I’m wondering if your therapist have suggested DBT it was designed for people with borderline, I have done it off and on and the last time I did it for 2/3 years. It really does help and if you use the tools and skills you learn in DBT they can really help.

My now therapist actually told me that she thinks if I were to try and get the diagnoses now I wouldn’t meet the criteria anymore. So it is possible to manage it and get the symptoms down a lot to the point it’s doesn’t effect t you as much or were you fully meet the diagnosis.
