Hi,
yes, it was believed by my first therapist I saw, that I had a lot of symptoms of BPD. What I read kind of scared me. I didn't have a lot of the symptoms but I did have some. I do believe that pyschotherapy shows to have great success in those who suffer BPD-even just some symptoms. BPD is a very complex disorder, but with time, I, personally, have gotten a lot better and it was all due to therapy.
Hope this helps,Keep me posted please?
Good luck :-)
Kristen***PS There is a great book:"THE ANGRY HEART-Overcoming Borderline and Addictive Disorders"
It is wonderful IMO
All the best!

Hi,
Anyway, after years of being diagnosed with major depression and/or Eating Disorder NOS, this guy says I have BPD. I don't know. I have some of the symptons on the list but don't think I act out (in anger), at least not anymore, and as for being very dependant on others, I'm practically a recluse. I did read where some BPD's isolate as a fear of abandonment, etc.
Just want to know who else has had this diagnosis and what they have found that helps. This PDoc put my on Wellbutrin and said that psychotherapy is the best route. He's a Freudian guy.
All input welcome. Thank You.
