Hello, can I ask how you all got your diagnosis? I have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, some ocd and disordered eating over the years all related to stressful times but following my recent relationship breakdown I've really had to dig deep within myself and work out why I can't handle things others seem to be able to without extreme swings / extreme depression and anxiety and so much anger. My ex partner has left again because he says I'm too emotionally volatile, I'm up and down and he bares the brunt of my moods, I can often become quite nasty to him (with words) and can flip moods like the click of a switch and he said he never knows what I'll be like on a day to day basis. The resentment I felt for him not being able to give me security in the relationship was a major trigger as was my impulsive drinking and smoking (once a week), I feel like I'm permanently in fight or flight and it takes the smallest thing to make me have a huge adrenaline reaction that I can't control. I was looking at self help for heart break and came across bpd last night, every single symptom bar disassociation was me to a tea!!! It was like a light bulb moment. I am due to start councelling next week (just for the relationship breakdown) but I wondered does a GP need to make the diagnosis and if so what's the benefits of having that if you are 100 % sure it's what you're dealing with? Does anyone manage the condition naturally? With healthy eating and relaxation etc? What works best? I'm currently not eating more than 4 slices of cheese a day and I'm feeling worse than ever so I know I need to start somewhere quick. Just knowing there might be a reason and having an awareness of why I feel like this has helped me but I don't know where to start now making myself better.

My gp refereed me to a mental health place and it went from there, it did take a long long while, I didn’t go in there saying “I think I’m bpd” I went in with a list of things about myself, situation I’ve struggled with in the past, I learnt my triggers based off my trauma, and basically poured and explained everything and then she turned around and told me that she thinks it’s bpd. I agreed, told her that I’ve kinda known all along deep down.
I honestly think when you become more self aware of being mentally I’ll things change a lot. I thought I was just different ect but when I learnt about bpd everything clicked, everything I felt, was because of the bpd.
I have a strict morning routine that I HAVE to follow and tick off otherwise it throws me off.
You say your eating habits are about rit rn, is that maybe because your a little stressed that you might be bpd?
