Not so long ago I wrote a post regarding my BPD (borderline personality disorder) and it was the first time I've made a public declaration of my mental health. I've always kept it under wraps, but it was so refreshing to read your responses and know I've helped a small few. Since then I've been asked questions here and there so I wanted to make this mini Q&A. But before I start I want to express that I've come to terms with my disorder to a point where I'm comfortable with it. That doesn't mean to say I wouldn't take a cure if it was handed to me. On the other hand there are people who may be at the beginning stages of diagnosis or further along the lines that aren't as comfortable so please keep that in mind. I also want to say this post isn't here for you to self diagnose, I highly suggest seeking professional help when it comes to both physical and mental health issues. Please don't take my opinions/experiences as fact because everyone experiences things different and this is only my viewpoint. I just wanted to answer a few questions to help people understand such an unknown mental health disorder.
