Hi everyone.

I'm a 25yo female with a 5 year history of depression/general anxiety disorder. This isn't my main account, purely because I'd like to talk about this without others knowing.
I recently switched GPs as I felt I was going down a new path, and the new GP referred me on to the local mental health services, who then told me I was meeting the criteria for BPD.

For a long time I've always felt there was something not quite right, but now I've actually been given this diagnosis I'm quite scared. I guess a part of me always hoped that it was just my insecurities telling me i wasn't 'normal'..

Anyways, I'm just saying hello because I've been silently reading this forum for a little while and it's really helped me understand my own feelings, but I thought it might be time to start talking about it too.
