Hey guys. I (31F) just posted that I got a tentative diagnosis of BPD from a psychiatrist at a treatment hospital but didn’t believe it and got a second opinion from my treating psychiatrist. …it’s BPD, y’all. 😪😪 I am downright DISTRAUGHT, but at the same time, relieved to have a diagnosis. Now I can finally address the issues that are destroying my life. How did y’all react upon receiving the diagnosis? (High reactivity is obviously a deficit of mine and probably many of yours too.) I am so brand new to this that I need to know…How do you cope with the disorder? 

PS - I am going to be receiving an outpatient hospitalization daily to get the coping skills I need to overcome this. I REALLLLLY want to go into remission. I am so tired of living this way. I want to get so good that I’m not even categorized as BPD anymore. 🙏🏻
