[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was told I had BPD, but then was later diagnosed with PTSD. My psychiatrist said a lot of people are misdiagnosed with BPD, especially young women. My mom is an abusive alcoholic, my dad died when I was young, I was raped and I am bulimic... Yeah. Therapy didn't help me at all. What helped me was working with kids and being shown unconditional love and acceptance, something I never got growing up. I always say that the kids saved me. I tried the DBT workbooks and went to rehab, but honestly it was the kids who made me want to change and get better. [/quote] I'm glad that you are feeling better. My ex was some version of BPD/NPD/bipolar. I did not see the red flags before we had our child. Our child, instead of "curing" him brought out wilder behavior swings (physical abuse, disappearances, lying for long periods of time). After his arrest for abuse he was forced into therapy, but as PPs noted it hasn't changed him at all.[/quote]
