Cptsd

Hi, I have a current diagnosis of EUBPD. I'm thinking it might really be CPTSD. Just looking for info really. Might be worth mentioning to my G.P. I'm interested in finding the right therapy.

Welcome to Out of the FOG.

It takes bravery and strength to address a BPD diagnosis. Whatever diagnosis ultimately is determined, you deserve the support of a good counselor or therapist, a trusted network of FOC to help you think through what you are learning and feeling, and online resources for anonymous, safe support.

Out of the FOG is particularly dedicated to supporting those who struggle with the impact of others in their lives: others with personality disorders. You may have loved ones in your life with a PD. If so, you are welcome to participate in Out of the FOG, but our discussions must revolve around dealing with the loved ones in your life with a PD and not on your own recovery from a PD.  There are other excellent sites for support in your own recovery (See our Links for more info). 

Members are frank and direct here, looking for a safe place to share their stories. They often come to the forum with emotions and hurt that are a bit raw. For this reason, you may find some of their stories, reactions and feelings triggering. Please do not take such comments personally or attempt to speak on behalf of another person, whom you do not know.

Again, you are being strong and you are being brave. I wish you so much good strength as you proceed. Focus on tactics: what do I do, what do I not do. And find someone you trust and trust them. Good luck!
