Help people with bpd

[overtakee]

is there anyone on here with bpd and if so, when did you realize you were struggling with it and what symptoms?
the last thing i want to do is self diagnose but sometimes i ask myself if i potentially could be struggling with it, as i have severe mood swings pretty much all the time and start treating other people depending on how i feel even if i never intend to
sometimes i feel like im doing better and lifes just amazing when all of a sudden i have this period of time where i cant get out of bed and i just feel like complete shit and i start making terrible decisions which i end up regretting almost immediately

If you're looking for someone with bipolar disorder, I have it. The symptoms started with the first antidepressants, which were prescribed to me, and I got an episode of hypomania. Thats common, i was 24 and I never thought I had it

From what you wrote, it doesn't sound like you have borderline personality disorder (if that is what you meant). Main symptoms would be extreme fear of abandonment and intense emotional dysregulation... There are other symptoms too but they could be attributed to other issues if the main ones are absent

In case of borderline, mood swings tend to last only up to a few days at most as opposed to bipolar which lasts much longer for each phase

Please see a professional if you want a more definite answer. In case of borderline, it wouldn't change much as it doesn't really have a care plan other than therapy. For bipolar, I heard that medication can help so that can lessen your burden a bit

We aren't a place that can diagnose you, sadly. Only undergoing physiciatric inspection will help identify the diagnosis you potentially suffer from.

BD (Bipolar) episodes lasts weeks to months. BPD anywhere from minutes, hours, days. Never longer.

For me I knew there was something wrong with my body and brain but I couldn't understand what. It wasn't until one of the worst periods of my life hit, leading me to see multiple physicists dropping the bomb shell that was BPD.

It was eye opening honestly... Like a light bulb appeared in my head ... All of this shit and pain I had caused others could be explained somehow.

Every case is different. Please reach out to a professional. This is a condition from hell.
