Hello

Hi ,

My name is Daniella. I’m 50 years old and was diagnosed with a few mental illnesses when I was 46. After suffering a severe breakdown (my second), I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar, PTSD, Anxiety Disorder with agoraphobia. So as you can see my challenges are big on most days, but I had the worst episode 2 months ago and am now trying to keep positive everyday and when I feel well, I push my boundaries. Baby steps is what I’m achieving and I’m trying to stay focused. A big “hello” to everyone on here!

Hi Chunty,

So happy to meet another BPD! Lol! Our emotions get the better of us sometimes, but now I'm diagnosed I understand why I react the way I do. I have learnt to focus on my thoughts and talk myself through them. Also deep breathing and meditation has helped. I hope you are feeling better and thank you for your post.

For some reason my old account was Dani70 and all my posts are listed under that name......

Hello Dani 70. Nice to hear from you. I sure like your sense of humour. Us BPDs I reckon have got character. It is a difficult diagnosed, but some how orother with support we get by. It is hard work with the diagnoses of Depression and Anxiety, but there are some good days too. I must say I like your style and I did have a chuckle.Take care and plod along. Toodle doo. Chunty😋

Hi Dani 70. It,s me again, your fellow BPD sufferer. How are you going? Today I went to see the Psychiatrist first session. Pretty freaky. Concentrating on my BPD and traumas in my life. Having to talk abot them was like re-living them again. I try to put the thoughts away, but I can sure understand how I developed the ghastly diagnosis. It is so hard, I hurt alot and just suffer. He has come up with suggestions to work with my psychologist and make some adjustments with my medications in the next session. Guess what, the darling bulked billed me. Couldnt believe it.How are you coping? How do you deal with rejections ? Isnt it an aweful mental illness?Do keep in touch with me Dani70. We can support each other. On the other hand, I dont want to pressure you. It is your choice, but the offer is there.. I wont hold it against you if you dont ok? So dont worry. Hang on there Dani70 and do whatever strategys you have to help you.Take care. Chunty🐯🐱
