I've just been diagnosed with BPD, after being told I was Bipolar for many years. I'm a little lost. I had a breakdown culminating in a trip to the ER, and now after years of thinking I knew where I was at and what I needed to do, I'm just... lost. I guess what I need is some information. Everything I'm dealing with is very cut and dry and clinical, and I'd like some personal experience, in particular with the symptoms. For example, how did the "feelings of emptiness" manifest in other people? How did your unstable relationships unfold for you personally? I'm sorry I can't be more coherent than this, but I'm feeling very rough and raw as it is. I'd heard of BPD, but never known anything about it. Where the hell do I start? Where do I go from here?

Thanks.
