I think I have BPD, please help
Hi everyone, I’m new here. A couple of months my boyfriend told me that he thought I had BPD and I brushed it off. Now that I’m desperately trying to figure out why I act and feel the way I do, I think he might be right. The problem is, therapy is too expensive and I can’t get a professional opinion. So any advice on what I could do? Or anyone willing to just talk, because it’s making me feel like it’s all in my head, but I have majority of the symptoms, I just really want to stop feeling this way. It’s unbearably tiring.
By BPD, I mean borderline personality disorder^^

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Sorry that you're experiencing that and that you aren't able to see a therapist. I don't think anyone except a medical professional would be able to tell you for sure whether or not you can be diagnosed with BPD. But regardless of whether or not you're diagnosed, if that description feels like it fits your experiences, it's possible that tips designed for people with BPD might be helpful either way.
HERE is a thread with a list of resources for people with BPD. And HERE is a list of experienced listeners who accept chats on BPD. I hope you're able to find someone to talk with. 💜
