I got diagnosed with BPD by two psychologists and a psychiatrist and was suggested medicines to cope with it. However, due to its potential side effects and the fact that they help with the symptoms and not cure the illness, I decided to only stick to therapy. My therapist told me that in her career I am the only person she has seen who is trying to manage this. This makes me hate myself a little less and validates my decision that I took without being influenced by others (which is a big thing for me, as I am not able to take decisions for myself). This is my first positive post here and I feel a little sense of victory over this illness which I mostly think is consuming me.
