Hi. I'm Thomas and I have BPD. I was diagnosed with it 6 years ago but the Navy doc didn't make a big deal out of it so I didn't either. Until my last relationship tanked. Somehow BPD came up and she sent me some resources on it. This... disorder... Has made my life a living hell for most of my existence. The desperate search for an identity, the intense relationships followed by distrust and chaos, the recklessness, the anger. Gods the anger. And recently, the substance abuse. I want to get better. I want to finally have peace. 

I know there are people here who have it or had it and gotten better...if you have any hopeful stories or have made it through this or similar, I could really use some positivity.
