Personality Disorders Support Group
Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour. Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.
I was just informed yesterday that I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. While it is comforting to know my diagnosis, it is also overwhelming. To think that my childhood has severly impacted my daily adult life so significantly that I am unable to cope with my emotions and relationships in my life is terrifying. I am hoping one day I will be able to be "normal". Normal in a sense to live a fulfilling and productive life. Have friendships that are healthy. Have a family and children and not change my dreams daily because of the situations I have grown to know. I constantly change my views on wanting children because of my sister being a selfish and entitled adult child who resents everyone in her life. I change my mind on getting married because I don't want a loveless marriage and a relationship where the person changes their personality or views. I see my parents and how they are to each other and it is sad. I don't want a relationship like that.
Believe in yourself and set goals with your medical support. You can get better and don't worry about being normal. Be unique:). Good luck and God Bless you.
