I think I might have BPD??
Question: I have been depressed, due to recent increase in stressors. However, my personality is very volatile...changes drastically within minutes. I see people as hurtful, sometimes I feel paranoid...and I have huge trust issues. I don't want to be this way, but I can't stop. Bad relationships, it's too much for them. I have done drugs before, but refuse to now. I've been told I read too much between the lines, and that people feel like they have to watch what they say around me...because they never know what to expect. Story goes and on...opinions on potential diagnosis anyone?
Answers: I have BPD. I have been in therapy for 9+ years.
The only way to confirm what you suspect is to see a clinical psychologist. Don't worry about something that doesn't exist yet.
And if it is confirmed, I can give you the names of some books which will help you.
You can e-mail me. Check my profile.
Good luck.
i say go get checked out by a doctor
but hey, a lot of artists and musicians have had BPD, so i suggest trying that out.
i wish i could help because i feel like i've been having the same problem...you might have it, you might not...go see your doctor...you can try takin online tests, but those aren't reliable and you can read too much into them sometimes...good luck
