Recently I was diagnosed with BPD while attending a unit recommended psychological evaluation. At that meeting the psychologist and the psychiatrist diagnosed me with BPD. Being in the military means this is grounds for an honorable discharge, and that’s fine and dandy. I’m a young man with not many skills, but I feel like I could flourish in the outside world. My parents don’t believe me and tell me that I’m lying just to get out. They’ve even begun the process of having me legally removed from the family, all because I don’t want to carry on the legacy of being in the military like all of the other male members of my family.
I really only have a few good friends and my girlfriend on my side, and even then it’s hard to keep them because some days I look at them like they are these perfect beings and the next day they can do something so small and minor but it still makes me resent them. I guess I’m just coming here asking what do I do? Should I try to fight to stay in knowing I’m putting my mental health at being risk even more, or perhaps just get out and go to college. I don’t have many people to ask for advice and this sub seemed like the best place for me to seek help from people with similar diagnoses. Thanks to all in advance, I appreciate the input.
