I waited 5 months to see a psychiatrist on an urgent list, I finally had my appointment on Tuesday. I was diagnosed with BPD, but dr wants me to keep a mood journal as she is suspect of bi polar. She recommended CBT and DBT and prescribed Sertraline (Zoloft) and Risperidone. 

 I am relived that I finally got diagnosed, but also sad that i am stuck with this for the rest of my life. I had a strong feeling that I had BPD but this is like a “finally” moment. I hope the meds help. Anyone else take the same ones? Did they help?
