After years of pressure from family about seeking help I finally flipped out at work over something trivial and minor. It felt like a huge insult at the time and I threatened to kill myself in front of my boss. A few days later she says she thinks I have either bipolar or BPD, as she has relatives with both conditions. My family have been pushing me to seek help for BPD for a number of years now but I never felt the need to get help for my behaviour since my family have always been forgiving and understanding. But now it's affecting my work I realise I do need to act

I've made an appointment with my GP which is tomorrow where I plan on raising my concerns.

I was curious as to what experience you've had with both getting diagnosed and treated for the condition

For reference, I am in the UK but anyone's experiences with the process are valued
