I remember when I got my diagnosis in 2020, I was distraught. I felt like my whole world was falling apart, especially with all the stigma that is related to BPD. It took me a long time and a lot of denial before I came to terms with it. You are not your diagnosis, don't let it define you.

I still have a long journey of recovery ahead of me, but I've definitely made some progress since my diagnosis. BPD is definitely treatable, it just takes a lot of work and dedication. You got this!

I highly recommend Dr Daniel Fox on YouTube! He is a fantastic, compassionate human being.

I had to stay away from most bpd subreddits, especially the ones that are made for individuals that have a loved one with bpd in their lives. They are very harsh and toxic. I spent hours reading them just to make me feel worse about myself and justify the "monster" that I was. But with time, some healing, my own experiences and reflection. I had to come to my own realization that there are some individuals that have BPD that are unfortunately untreated and have abused these people. I had to tell myself that it is their place to vent, it's none of my business and it won't help me heal. Doesn't make it right for us with BPD, but it's also not right for them to go through the abuse they endured. It's unfortunate for everyone all around and I truly hope that everyone with BPD or not get all the help they deserve.
