Hello lovely people. I am a newly diagnosed borderliner, 5 months now, although to be fair i knew it about already and suspected in myself due to my studies as a medical student. However i wasnt diagnosed until i met my current therapist who recognized it within 2 sessions ( the previous one told me not to label things when I suggested bpd, and several other people as well, which is why i stopped suggesting it). In any case i am now 5 months into dbt, my scores on anxiety and depression scales are almost 70% improved, and i’ve overcome my fears of inadequacy concerning my occupation as a physician and am now in love with my field. I just wanted to share my progress with you. For the past year i’ve been on a suicidal binge, jumping from one plan to another, spending far too many nights on ledges. I survived 40 pills of tylenol, and two days in my car with an open gas canister. Today i am proud to say, i want to live and i love myself in all my broken glory. It might seem impossible, and you may have lost faith in yourself and in life by now, but i promise you, you are worth it. Worth all the suffering and pain and tears. And you will make it through.
