.: BPD Resources

I guess this is really just a personal diary of my recovery of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), a mental illness that has debilitated me for as long as I remember. Having been diagnosed with Major Depressive Illness for most of my adult life I have never been embarrassed to be open about it and tell people how I feel. With a diagnosis of BPD, which came just last year, I have been put off being so open about it because of the huge stigma that this illness brings. I'm hoping that with time I will feel okay about this going out for anyone to read because the last 12 years (when it was first suspected I had it) professionals have encouraged me to believe and feel that it is a hopeless cause and to never tell anyone about it. It is my strong opinion that I should never have to be embarrassed or felt to suppress a sickness that I did not give myself. Besides posting on here to express my feelings, I wanted to share my experiences of my recovery with the treatment Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) in the hopes to perhaps help others understand the illness and to demonstrate how DBT helps me. I am not a Dr or a psychologist and I am in no way a professional in the use of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy as I am just in the very beginning stage of treatment. I use images on here to also help me with my recovery and I apologise for not citing all of them.
