I’m positive I have borderline personality disorder (just haven’t seen anyone to get diagnosed). Did some research on how it’s perceived and holy shit do I just end it all now

No!! I have BPD (diagnosed way later than it should’ve been) and I’m living a wonderful life now post treatment. It doesn’t disappear completely, but it’s entirely manageable

Tell me you don’t understand BPD without telling me you don’t understand BPD. It’s such a complex thing to develop and experience. It really doesn’t have anything to do with not being “disciplined.” It also doesn’t mean someone is a liar, manipulator, or narcissistic.

Honestly this is what I’m constantly thinking about. One of the side effects is lashing out and anger but I don’t have that tendency. I feel like my relationships and friendships fail less because I’m manipulative or narcissistic, and more because my entire world relies on other people, and one sign of rejection can send me into depression/suicidal. This whole time I thought I was depressed (taking SSRIs) when really my entire stability relies on other’s actions.
