Re: BPD
Hi @Bianca2, Welcome to Forum Land.
As @outlander noted, DBT stands for dialectical behaviour therapy. Some of us are working through the skills training component of DBT here in Forum Land: Let's do DBT We aren't progressing quite as quickly as we would like because life seems to keep getting in the way, but that's ok. You are extremely welcome to join us. The thread starts off with a fairly detailed description of DBT.
@Flying_Hams You mentioned on another thread that you are concerned about the stigma around BPD. You are right - it is a horribly stigmatized diagnosis. However, the stigma is just that - stigma. It doesn't mean that the horrible things you hear about people with BPD are true.
You also mentioned that you feel you will know one way or the other whether you have BPD after your appointment tomorrow. Remember, your psychologist is just one person with one opinion. You could go to a dozen different mental health professionals and get a dozen different opinions. Their opinion will be based on how many boxes they think you tick. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V) is the book that mental health professionals refer to. It is just a book - readily accessible to anyone. Anyone can go and read the relevant section of the DSM-V and see whether they think a particular diagnosis fits. Remember all that critical thinking stuff you learnt at uni @Flying_Hams? You are the expert on your life. You are just as capable of reading the DSM-V as any mental health professional. You know yourself better than anyone else knows you.

Re: Boderline Personality Disorder
I have PTSD, BPD and Clinical depression, life can be cruel at times. The depression has been with me a long time but the others seem to have popped their heads up just to make me feel worse. I have had this thing where I tend to run away from how I feel and have lived in many different places in Australia. Now I am older I have realized what I was doing and it doesn't work as it just follows me. Thank you for sharing and I hope and pray you have at least one good day often.

Re: BPD
Hey all
I have bpd and im just wondering if not coping with change well is a bpd thing or what? For instance today I went to an organisation and in the new year they have had some staff changes, changed the way things run a bit and taken some old artwork away etc and I'm feeling rather anxious and unsettled by these changes that I have no control over. Why do I feel so yuck.

Re: BPD
How are you going today?
Hello @STORMGRL101
Um im not too sure about your question. I know i deal with change pretty roughly too. More dramatic changes like having things run differently and new staff csn be particularly unnerving esp if your use to the way things were. I hope overtime you'll adjust and be ok with these new changes.
Hopefully some others will reply also

Re: BPD
HI @STORMGRL101
I have BPD also, just 1 of a few things I'm struggling with atm. I also don't cope with change so it may go with BPD and I guess much is the same with us who suffer from that, but I also have noticed that a few things are different. I also struggle with decision making, it gives me really bad anxiety and makes me nervous like I want to run away. I know it is not fun when we just don't seem to be able to get control over some situations, it really does suck. I am sure those feelings you are having will go away and let's hope it happens fast. I just want to be well again in all aspects and I want it fast like yesterday.

Re: BPD
Hi @outlander, now I'm sorry I never read your message earlier. I have been having a rough time with all my issues and my head just won't stop over-processing everything. I haven't been on for awhile although I think about all my friends on here and wonder what and how they are doing. I see my psych this month although I can see him anytime if I'm desperate but find it hard to get the phone call made. Hoping and praying you are ok and finding some sunshine in your days. Hugss
