How is it possible that I can come to grips with the reality that I 'could' be BPD? I was told I was over 3years ago and refused to accept that label. I stopped taking the meds and never went back to that psychiatrist. Now 3 years later I think that it may be true? My current psychiatrist refused to label me so now I have about 4 different diagnosis. No meds have worked to stabilize my mood. I am currently starting my 5th mood stabilizer med since Feb. I truly want to scream..I feel like I am in the exorcist and my head is spinning 360. It won't stop and I am so frustrated. How can I cope without the permanent relief?

do you know why you didn't want to accept it when you first got diagnosed?

it works sometimes to talk to somebody, but i don't know if it works for you?

I didnt want to accept it because all the symptoms didnt fit at that time and it just seemed so severe.
I also see a therapist as well and I still am in denial, even though I have been honest about all the crazy unbelievable things I do and started DBT therapy...

If there is someone you trust, someone who accepts who you are for what you are, then it helps to let your feelings out to them. But a lot of people here including me don't have a person like that .. well saying don't give up yet because right now there are still options, right?
