You've come to a good place! It's so nice to be able to share your experiences and stories w/ people who know exactly what you're going through!When you were talking about jobs, I've also had plenty but the longest one I've been able to keep was 4 months!! We're glad you're here!

I could never figure out how or why I was not able to manage staying at any job for more than 18  months. The longest I stayed at any job was 3 years. I was just diagnosed about 6 weeks ago, but knew that something was not right with me. Looking back, I can see it all, in full color!

 

I was not upset about my diagnosis (well, maybe a teeny bit). I was more relieved and felt validated and vindicated. And I finally have people to communicate with that can relate!

 

I'm trying to be very positive about my BPD, but as you know.... I get so down that I cannot function.

 

Valium also helps.

 

I also have a host of other health problems which complicates things.

 

I look forward to getting to know you better. Feel free to send messages to me, if you like, and I will respond.
