Newly Diagnosed And Don't Know Much About Bpd

[conquer]

I'm a 26 yr old male newly diagnosed with BPD. I honestly had no idea what BPD is so I've been researching it but feel as if I'm only at the beginning to understand BPD, and how it has influenced my emotions and behaviors over the course of my life. I grew up in an extremely horrific childhood, physically, mentally, sexually abused, and terribly neglected. I - and my psychiatrist - believe this is what caused me to develop BPD. I also have co-occurring C-PTSD, generalized anxiety and panic disorder, depression, and eating disorders.

I can't work because of my panic attacks and paranoia, so I'm currently on income assistance and waiting to find out if I will be put on permanent disability. My psychiatrist has signed me up for a four-month daily DBT group. So I hope this will help and also educate me about my disorder.

What do you guys find are the symptoms of your BPD? I'm still trying to wrap my head around what this disorder is.
