BPD sand depression

I was diagnosed with BPD in November and since starting medication have been feeling much better. However, the last few weeks I’ve been having intrusive thoughts again and have been really down. Is this part of BPD and something I just have to learn to manage?

I’ve been referred for MBT with our local personality disorders team but there’s a long wait and in the meantime none of the other teams will touch me because of the diagnoses.

I’m back under GP care and am worried that if I go to see them they’ll just tell me it’s part of the BPD and to get on with it.

I can’t go on feeling like this, I feel so disconnected from the world and my disassociating is getting worse. Is this reallybas good as it gets?

I have BPD and clinical depression.

For but it can be hard to figure where one ends and the other starts, as the bpd traits triggers the depression. But I'd talk to the GP again.

When I'm low i'm the lowest I can be but it does ease up. I'm sorry you're struggling so much right now.

Have they given you a timeframe of how long you're supposed to wait? Would it be possible to look for a low cost therapist?

It’s a year long wait and none of the lost cost therapists will treat me because if the diagnosis:( I’ll try talking to the GP and see if I can up my anti-depressants again..
