I want to change my family hate me because of the disfunction of my life. I want to reach out to people who suffer this condition and understand Im sick of living with the horrible feeling of guilt and shame in my stomach everyday.

Hello Queenbee85,

Welcome to the BB forums. BPD is a medical condition, in the same way Diabetes or Arthritis or a broken bone is. The forums are a friendly non judgmental place with many contributors who also have BPD.

May I suggest that you consider getting professional help (if you are not already) and to have a look at the links at the bottom of the page to get an idea of the types of assistance available.

Take care and if you feel you can please let us know how you are getting on

Hi Queenbee85,

Welcome to the forums and thanks for joining us and being here. You are definitely in good company here, and there's quite a few of us that live with these conditions.

Please know that you don't need to live with guilt and shame here; while I am sorry that you don't have the support of your family, that's not on you.

What sort of support do you have around you? If it's not family, might it be friends, or even a therapist?

Also just to clarify Paw Prints - BPD stands for Borderline Personality Disorder. It's very different to Bipolar.

Dear Queenbee85,

I am so very sorry that I included the wrong link in my earlier post. I get muddle headed & which can result in my attempts to be helpful being stuffed up. As Romantic Thi3f said there is support here for you
