Statistics indicate that 1.4 percent of the population will be diagnosed with it at some point in their lives. A label won't change anything.I too was diagnosed with BPD and HDAD, and last year I was diagnosed as Bipolar 2, and I have made a big turn around since then. People with BPD also tend to have a history of unstable relationships. Im not trying to write a sob story I just want people t o understand that there is hope.Im not saying everything is perfect but my world has changed entirely even though I sometimes dont see that because of the bumps I have. That was also the time I was diagnosed with being bi polar. though when ended up in er they sent me home even though mania pretty bad when I came out of the drug and alcohol fog that led to me overdosing on med's. 1 month ago I identified I have a real problem after I hurt someone close to me.

!Hi SW, I am curious if you're referring to Borderline, or, Bipolar, when you say BPD. I also go into mania states in the spring which are more hypomamia and I haven't been self destructive for a while but always fear when it might happen and try to stay ahead of it. Bottom line I needed mental help.

I spend each day praying that something will come along to bring my life to an early close, as I am not prepared to let my children down by taking my own life. I stopped seeing my pdoc because of cost and no insurance and didn't like the effects of Prozac, one being easily set off to go into rages. And maybe just as hard in a different way for those that love us. For example, someone may develop PTSD in childhood, then later develop BPD as an adolescent.
