Let me start off by saying that I have not been diagnosed but from the moment I began reading about BPD, I've truly felt that it was describing my life. I fit almost all of the critera and honestly a lot of things clicked for me. 

 My 'episodes' have been horrible lately and I need to do something about this.  So, my question is where do I begin? Do I begin seeing a general therapist / psychologist or someone that specifically deals with BPD? And do you have any advice on how to manage my emotions in the meantime? 

I'm so nervous about moving forward with this so any advice at all would help.
