Scared with BPD
Well-known member
Hello
Is there anyone else on the forum who is suffering with BPD and also middle-aged?
I feel somewhat ashamed that I am in my mid-forties and still suffering with what I presume to be a young person's diagnosis!
I wasn't diagnosed until my late thirties but had lived through all the tell-tale signs, looking back, most of my life.
Amazingly, seeing as I have been treated by Psychologists, Psychiatrists and other experts the person who hit the nail on the head was the first Counsellor I ever saw at my local surgery in Camden who told me that she was shocked by my absolute lack of boundaries and my emotional immaturity. Sad to say, both those things are still prevalent.
Anyway, enough navel gazing, anyone in the same old place as me?!
Would love to hear from you
Claire
