Do I have borderline disorder?
I care alot what people think
I always feel empty
I have no idea what I want to do in life and I feel lost
I am emotionally dependent on my sister
One min I am sad the next I am happy
I have really low self esteem
I always need reasurrance from ppl on what I am doing
When I get upset I can't stop thinking about the problem
when something goes wrong I get discouraged and give up
I used to be suicidal.
hi.. although i am by no means an expert i was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder one year ago.. and the stuff u wrote u feel do sound like what i go through, especially the part about dependency.. im sending lots of warmth your way..
So what should i do from here? is it bad disorder? I work with children will I get fired if they find out?
@hopeful123if you have concerns about possibly having a disorder, I'd like to encourage you to speak with a counselor or therapist. We here at 7 cups are not able to diagnosis you. We can however talk with you aboutconcerns you may have dealing with symptoms or problems in general.
I think you will find that there are many successful and even famous people out there living with BPD. It is a disorder but not a disability, and while not curable it can be dealt with. The important thing is never give up hope and find good support.
