I got diagnosed with "borderline personality disorder" about a year ago. I was wondering does anyone else suffer from this alot with anxiety? I feel like im always in my head. I have irrational fears. For example a plan coming down from the sky and plowing into me. I type it and it sounds so irrational but i do feel it and do feel it Im in a quiet neighbourhood and every loud noise has me worrying, every helicopter that goes over head i freak out about. Does anyone else have this with their anxiety??

Hello mrsanxiety,
I have BPD and anxiety and depression but i dont have as many scary thoughts as u do. But i often find it hard to cope at times and feel like ill never get through it but it always eventually passes just some take longer than others. Do u see a doctor or a psychologist for ur illness at all or take medication as i find that is useful when u find the right one. Get back to me and let me know. Take care

Hi mrsanxiety,
I also have BPD, and anxiety can be one of the symptoms. I also find I have a bit of an over reactive imagination, and often I can't control unrealistic thoughts or worries. Have you spoken with your Psychiatrist about this? Are you currently taking medication to help with the anxiety?
Happy to chat more if it helps.

Hi Mrsanxiety
I too have BPD as well as depression and anxiety. I tend to over react in a lot of situations and I have unrealistic thoughts.
Hope you can come back to us and let us know if you are seeing a pysch or taking meds.
Take care

I noticed you posted this a few days ago but most of the other comments on the thread are from 2014 so there might not be a high chance of a reply, have you tried creating a new post? Hopefully someone currently active will see it then and be able to help you
All the best

HIya,
Not now but I used to....similar.
I used to think if I didn't do something before I counted to three,,,that people would die (family)
Even as a child I would think "If I do not get out bed by the count three dad will die"
I have NO IDEA why but I was always out of bed by three.
It ruined my life.
NOW I am ok....although I still have sneaky stupid thoughts now and again...I ignore them.
