BPD and me
So when I was 15 I was diagnosed with BPD, it's caused me so much grief.
I've since been diagnosed with 5 other illnesses on top of this one.
It's made my life so hard, I have the worst luck and I'm always anxious. In a different post I posted about my husband having terminal cancer. I've become his full time carer and a full time single mum as well.
The stress that I am going through is setting my whole body and mental illness into super overdrive. I'm stressed, terrified, angry, sad, anxiety is in overdrive and I'm exhausted.
I'll be meeting my psychiatrist tomorrow and I hope he can help me find a happy medium. There is so much going on I can't regulate myself or ground myself properly.
If you got this far thanks for reading.

Re: BPD and me
Hi again @Stephanie86 . I'm concerned that you have such a lot to cope with.

No wonder you are really suffering at the moment. It would be a lot for someone to cope with who didn't have any illnesses.
I really hope that tomorrow's meeting with your psychiatrist is productive and helpful. Do you have any other supports around you?

Re: BPD and me
@Stephanie86 I'm glad to hear you have help with the kids, as it sounds like you (or anyone) would need it.
I'm sorry there's not much support from the hospital though.
Good luck with your psychiatrist appointment today...
