I was recently diagnosed with BPD a couple of weeks ago, but what does that mean to me? Am I supposed to do something about it, or just know that I have it?

It depends how you feel. My experiences say that sometimes it helps to have a diagnosis, to understand what is going on, and relate to others with the same diagnosis. Sometimes it doesn't help as it can just make you feel bad about yourself. Send me a message if you'd like to talk. Hugs to ya'

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
