BPDRecovery.com: Forums

i dont usually participate in forums, but after reading a lot of ur posts i feel compelled to share a little. I've came to a point in my life where im ready for a change. I'm just tired of the never-ending cycle of misery that keeps playing out over and over again in my life. I'm tired of seeing the pain I cause in my fiances eyes day after day because im unable to manage my emotions. I was diagnosed with BPD five years ago during hospitalization for a suicide attempt.Didnt really pay the diagnosis any attention due to the fact that at the time i felt like a lab rat for the prescription drug industry after years of being missed diagnosed as bipolar. Ive probably tried every medication on the market and never experienced any relief, so i gave up three years ago and havnt seen a doctor or therapist since. I've tried to self medicate for years which has only made my situation worse, jail, probation, rehab. So now im looking for a little relief, ive looked over the site and plan to give your "tools" a try. I just want something that resembles a normal life, a job, wife, home, kids. and to be able to manage it without hurting other people emotionally or physically. Anyways i have some reading to do, so if i have any questions i will post something again.
thanks

hey chris
first of all, welcome onboard This board has been immensely helpful for me both as a form of moral and emotional support as well as to work out issues / my recovery.

feel free to use the board even as you are attempting the tools

hope to see you around more often.

just want to tell you that recovery IS possible. I believe i am recovered, if not, almost recovered. I no longer experience intense emotional pain as before....
