I've never participated in such a forum previously. Very new diagnosis and it scares me. Admittedly, I'm here first of all for support and understanding.

Welcome IWTBB. I think we all enjoy to give and receive here. Glad you're here.

Peaces,

I felt the same way when I was first diagnosed. It takes time and courage and most of all, the desire to get better, to really get a grasp on this BPD.

Thank you both for the welcome. I do not know where to begin to tell you about myself. I have had difficulties my whole life due to abandonment and childhood sexual abuse. Until recently, I had never shared this information with anyone (not even my husband of 46 years). I am 63 years of age (64 in December 2011) and scared out of my shoes over what comes next. I have been in weekly counseling over 15 months and involved with a psychiatrist since February this year. I have been tossed around between major depressive disorder ~ PTSD ~ BPD. I'm not sure which end is up right now and could sure use some reassurance that if I work very diligently there will be light at the end of the tunnel. Just seems there are so many depressive triggers to deal with right now that I feel unstable. We are trialing different medications and different combinations, which I'm sure many, if not all, of you know can be tough. I never thought I would have to deal with this any other way than keep it buried with all the sadness in my 'hopeless chest'. I really feel overwhelmed.

hey there

welcome onboard :)

you mentioned that there are many depressive triggers.... Perhaps you want to start LISTING DOWN those triggers? And slowly work through them? A lot of it is probably twisted thinking...

take it one step at a time :)

IWTBH,

How are you? Haven't "seen" you around lately.
