To wonder if I have BPD?

[lilkins412]

Hi I have name changed for this. I have a history of anxiety and self harm, and what I thought was separation anxiety. My husband said to be the other night, he thought I had multiple personality disorder. Looking a BPD I match to most of the symptoms, doctors won't take me seriously though, it took 4 years to get diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder!
I changed doctors in July, currently not on any meds, and am debating running away or self harming as I can't cope with life atm, I have a 2 year old and am scared she will get taken off me, when I self harm. (I would never hurt her). I'm just really struggling.

The best way to demonstrate you are safe to look after your child would be to get urgent medical advice and follow it. It would be highly unlikely for social workers to be concerned about a parent that recognises they have mental health difficulties and seeks treatment. Talk to your doctor and tell them you are struggling to cope. This will pass and you will be well again.

I have recently been diagnosed with this too. I don't have children but just wanted you to know I understand how much of a struggle it is. Best of luck
