[quote=Anonymous]I have been diagnosed with BPD. I am not sure if the diagnosis was correct.  This was years ago; I was committed because I was literally beating myself up -- emotional pain that I did not know how to stop.  I was trying to knock my self out.  I was a very volatile person back then.  Very angry, and extremely low sense of self worth.  I am also very smart.
They talked me out of the immediate problem at the time, and I went on to finish my degree.

Through therapy, I figured out what was going on...what triggered the episodes. It was anxiety/panic attack driven.  But, I had identified my triggers, and took steps to avoid the triggers.  This would include antisocial behavior;  for example, spying on people to find out what they really though of me.  And manipulating the situations so I could avoid the triggers.  When I got caught and called out, I went into a downward spiral.

To shorten this, once the triggers were addressed properly:  anti anxiety medicine, I no longer have the issues that led to the diagnosis.  For me, BPD was a result of trying to deal my my avoiding panic.  Zoloft does that for me.

I am also a high performing professional.  [/quote]
