DW82 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 My name is Stephanie, and I recently learned that I have BPD. I fit 8 of the 9 criteria for it, and it's been... well so reassuring to know that there is a reason why I am the way I am. I feel like I could be the posterchild for this illness! I currently live in an area that doesn't have any therapists who know about BPD, so as of right now I am untreated. I am not medicated because I don't tolerate medications (of any kind). They've traditionally not lessened my symptoms anyway, leaving me with side effects but no relief. I'm very excited and eager to find a therapist in a few months when I move and get started with DBT (I'll actually be in Seattle/Tacoma, great place to be if you have BPD from what I understand). I'm happy to have found a place that I can feel a sense of community with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
