after years of seeing therapists and trying to get an accurate diagnosis, i finally just got diagnosed with both bpd and bipolar (1 or 2, they’re not sure yet bc i was having a terrible response to lexapro). i work as a counselor, so i understand the disorder pretty well from that standpoint. but honestly, i feel like the best way to learn about myself is just hearing from other people who actually have bpd. i’m in therapy and on lamictal (almost up to 100mg). aside from that, what’s been the biggest thing that’s helped you? i’ve really been self destructing lately and need to get a grasp on my life. any sort of advice you have would be SO appreciated.  also wondering if there’s anyone diagnosed with both bpd and a form of bipolar. what helps you guys?
