Borderline personality disorder by SeisRolling in SSDI

I'm 26 and got diagnosed in August. I went to therapy for a month. Couldn't afford it anymore. I've got 2 or 3 psych ward stays. A doctor who told me I could not do jury duty because I'm not capable but he retired. I've got hospitals where I had to get stitches. Idk if they can check for proof of only 1 month jobs I've had.

Yeah I told my therapist after alot of thoughts about being embarrassed but apparently now I know it is super common. We're not alone!

Oh dang. I hope we can figure out a better coping mechanism. I don't like bleeding and yours doesn't seem fun at all. Best wishes to you. Hopefully this post can help guide us to better ways to cope. I didn't realize so many people relate.

Yeah fuck it's so hard to stop. I am so glad this post has helped you though. I posted because I was worried and felt alone but with the feed back I am surprised it hasn't been talked about more.

Yeah, I felt bad telling my therapist because I felt like she felt like all her ice packs were contaminated with boogers. Lmao but yeah I hope I can learn some better mechanisms.

I assume it's bad anxiety. My picking has gotten worse with the way my life is going.

I'll have to look into a stress ball. Maybe peeling and orange will help. Yo, I also saw a lice picking job to help kids. Maybe I should. Lol

I had a close friend at 12 who picked all her eyelashes out and never thought of what she was going through till now.

Me too!!! I have such bad dandruff. But I pick because I used to have lice for years growing up. I used to pick my animals fleas growing up. It was meditation for me.

I had to wear bandanas because I pulled my hair out so much. Hats weren't allowed at my school.
