I thought all my struggles were behind me. I was great for a couple of months. Now my BPD and GAD symptoms are worse than ever. I don't know what to do.

I'm sorry for you. But symptoms don't usually come out of nowhere. Probably you had some specific stressors and/or you could learn more skills to handle problems or to prevent them (DBT, etc.). You also might seek out longer term treatment (I wrote some comments about that a few days ago) to get at the root of your symptoms.

You might also like some more "psycho-education" to understand the roots of BPD and GAD which are more complex that a DSM diagnosis (which is just a collection of symptoms). Read up, do internet searches, on the roots of BDP and GAD. It would be good if you could find a therapist who could explain it.

Good luck!

I agree totally with what NYNM said. Best of luck to you as well and I hope you can find some relief!
