Scared with BPD
Well-known member
Hello
Very early this morning I came across this site and ventured, first time ever, to make a contribution. Feel very stupid now as I think I spilled my guts in the wrong place and I'm hoping that's why I haven't received a response. Of course, it could just well be I sent someone back to bed sleepy with my long moaning diatribe!
I know that theoretically BPD is associated with young people so I'm a bit nervous that I'm going to be viewed as the mad old lady who should have grown out of it by now. I was diagnosed 6 years ago but in hindsight can see a lot of tell tale signs throughout all my life.
I've managed to gain jobs (before the old credit crunch of course) pretty continually but just never managed to keep them. Sacked from everyone apart from C4 who gave me the option to resign!
I'm currently battling to get Employment Support Allowance and bloody hell, that in itself is enough to tip you over the edge. They've managed to lose my medical certificate already and the thought of the hopeless assessment ahead of me just makes me want to jump back under the duvet for another week.
God, just realised, I am moaning again, sorry everyone, think I've forgotten how to even pretend to be positive.
Would really love to hear from someone - sadly now only have a social circle of my husband and parents as friends gave up on the erratic behaviour a long time ago.
Keep safe
