[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 305468, member: 1514"] Were you calling me CrazyinVa? LOL. I think there may be one or two other members here that have Borderline PD but I am the most active and outspoken member. Maybe I just have a big mouth! I also have bipolar disorder so I got an extra helping of the crazy genes. I am convinced, as is my therapist, that I was born with bipolar and because of my invalidating home environment, I became borderline. I was abused by my mom in a variety of ways from really early in life. My mom was most probably schizo-affective disorder but she never sought treatment for herself and did some really bizarre things to me. How I ended up as sane as I am is a miracle! Just a joke, I really am certified. In all honesty, my life hasnt been easy. I didnt know I was sick or ill for many years. I thought I was just bad. I thought I was crazy but I wouldnt go get help because...well that would just let others know I was crazy. I did things I really shouldnt have done and didnt do things I should have done and made life so much harder for myself than it should have been. Only after I had my kids and they had problems did I search out help for myself when I saw myself in them. I am so glad I did. I have been on medications for over 10 years now and in therapy for 3 years now and it has made a world of difference for me. There is life after diagnosis. I am so not the same person that I was 30 years ago, 20 years ago or even 10 years ago. [/QUOTE]
