Hi

Thanks for reaching out to us here. I am glad you have come to us for some support with all this.

Having a diagnosis can be hard for some. I have this disorder too and have in the past struggled with psychosis and severe paranoia as a symtom of BPD.

Speaking to people about it can be hard, but it seems like you have now recognised this is a problem for you at the moment which is really positive. I see my GP and have been for nearly eight years now and he has helped me so much. Talking can be hard but if you take that one step it can also really help. I want to encourage you to speak about it so you can get the help and advice that may well help you manage the disorder. If you feel you can't sit there with your doctor and psychically say it, it might be worth trying to write it down and booking an appointment and taking the writing with you. Some people struggle to verbally express themselves and writing to the people involved in my care is something I used to do a lot and do sometimes from time to time still but I have become much more confident at verbally expressing myself (but I think this is due to have gaining trust in the people that support me). Do what ever works for you but remember you're not alone and people want to and can help you!

And remember you're always more than welcome to talk to us here too. You are never alone in this.

Hope and wishes,
Jessie
