Flying fish Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 hi and welcome.hope the diagnosis does lead to more targeted treatment for you, and you can begin to make sense of what goes on for you. it did for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelle Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Welcome SteveAnd yeah! a dx makes sense only if it is followed with appropriate treatment!BPD is slightly more accepted now than 20 years ago, and more people are trained to treat it!I hope you will get all the help you deserve!It's a new journey! You will get through proudly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chloeJ1980 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 ptsd is linked with my bpd so it all began 20 years ago september just gone. I wasnt diagnosed until this year and i still havent had the full evaluation done. but for me it was an answer to a 20 year long question...not that i knew what the question wasas soon as i looked up bpd it was almost like reading my biography, then when i read the explanations and case studies behind the signs and symptoms i felt so much better. I think its nice to know others share your feelings and that now it is becoming more aware.Guess its better not to dwell on the past, after all who knows if it wouldve helped you to know back then, mental illness is seen as completely different these days, acceptable almost. 20 years ago biggots could have made you worse rather than better.welcome anyway....Your wife can read up on things now too, shes going to need support too, my husband reads all the books and websites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
