Finally was able to get an appointment with a psychiatrist and I am genuinely shocked at how amazing she is. I am young with no history of hospitalization or any other medical treatment for mental illness, so I was assuming the journey to get treated for BPD was going to be long and frustrating. But, to my surprise, my psychiatrist completely believed everything I shared ab myself and immediately took my side agreeing that I most likely have BPD, or at least have enough intense symptoms to get medicated. I start Lamictal tomorrow!!! 

So so happy and feel really fortunate rn. Just wanted to share this little progress story :))
