I was diagnosed with Depression and Anxiety about 6-7 years ago but recently diagnosed BPD as well. Have been trying new meds the last few months and having quite big fluctuations between depressed, anxious then 'normal' I don't feel like myself at all, I don't even remember what that is supposed to feel like. I am also struggling with people around me who just don't know how to talk to me and they trigger my symptoms. I want to run away most of the time. Just need some support from other people that are similar to me so I don't feel so alone all the time <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":disappointed_face:">😞</span> Wed, 27 Oct 2021 02:31:27 GMT Bee88 2021-10-27T02:31:27Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/new-here-diagnosed-with-bpd-depression-anxiety-and-coping-with-a/m-p/33358#M4059 Hey, I am Bec.

It can be really frustrating when you don't feel like yourself, I know the feeling. Also not having anyone to talk to can be equally frustrating.</P> <P>When I'm feeling like this, I usually take a step back from what I'm doing and try to do something that I can lose myself in, like a hobby. Reading or meditating is also a great way to relax yourself or put yourself into a good headspace.</P> <P>Are you seeing a therapist or psychologist at all? If not, it may be useful for you to talk to somebody objectively who can offer you advice.</P> <P>I hope this somewhat helps! Take care, and I wish you all the best. Please feel free to continue posting on the forums if you have more to talk about.</P> <P>Kind regards, SB</P> Wed, 27 Oct 2021 03:56:29 GMT https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/welcome-and-orientation/new-here-diagnosed-with-bpd-depression-anxiety-and-coping-with-a/m-p/33359#M4060 sbella02 2021-10-27T03:56:29Z
