New on here! Creative girl recently diagnosed

[creggz]

Hi everyone!

My name's Naomi. I've lived with anxiety and depression for years but just recently been diagnosed with (and have probably always had) Borderline Personality Disorder. Would be nice to meet and connect with people who experience what I do.

Even though I share a lot with others I still feel very alone sometimes, especially since I'm recently diagnosed with BPD, and I'd love to have a community of people I'm not 'running' so to speak. I look forward to meeting people on here  🙂

Have a good evening everyone

Hi creggz,

Welcome to the community. I was diagnosed with BPD a few years ago. Once I had the diagnosis it started to help me realise why I acted the way I did at times and I have been able to modify my behaviour a little.

I went o the library and borrowed books and have researched on the internet as well.

Has the person who diagnosed you offered you any forms of strategies, ideas, information or classes you could attend to help you deal with your diagnosis?

There are some aspects of BPD you might not want to mention here and that is okay as well.

I sometimes find it confronting when I consider some aspects of BPD I have not admitted to anyone.

BPD can affect each person differently as well.

Wishing you well on your journey of discovering who you are and who you can be!

Cheers from Dools
