rainbow_fishes Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Hi I'm Rachel and am 24. I found this place through google and am kinda nervous but it seems great I've recently been diagnosed with BPD amongst other things after what seems like forever. I don't really understand it myself but look forward to speaking to others like me. Sometimes I do 'disappear' when online (either because I forget the page / window is open or because I have run out of words or something like that) but am working on that and am trying to be sociable I love photographing things, mostly to escape.. I also like sparkly and colourful things. A pot of glitter will keep me happy for ages I love rainbows but have a fishy phobia which is how I chose my username. so. umm hi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeakybird Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Hi Rachael -- Rainbow Fishes,I'm new here and will make my own introduction in a separate email.I wanted you to know that i was your age when I was diagnosed with BPD ... didn't understand it either. I will be 46 this summer and having one of my endless bouts of "who are my friends?" "I have no friends" "What do I consider a friend?" "Why did I have have to lose all my long time friends?" I feel anxious lately and very alone and isolated, even in my marriage. I feel I don't know him after 10 years ... scary. I feel so self conscious and socially awkward although I am learning to be calmer with the the anxiety. I used to drink more alcohol and I think that took the edge off. I am rambling.I took a series of classes for BPD and felt they worked really well. My sleep doctor (I have NED: night time eating disorder) is bringing me down off of Klonopin, that's probably causing the anxiety I feel lately (but the relationship/identiy/whole diagnosis is fairly accurate for me.Just saying hello. I will probably post much of this on my hello page, if I can find it.Squeaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
