Too many thoughts
Hello everyone! I have been diagnosed with BPD and I am still trying to understand it. Aside from having problems with my emotions I have a specific issue which I still don't know how to name. It seems to me that there is just bundle of thoughts and feelings I can not even recognize or name. Sometimes it just happens that I feel overwhelmed for no reason, like I just feel energy of no specific valence accumulating inside of me. It bothers me. It makes me less productive. It makes me feel like I have to talk to my therapist all the time, or talk to someone all the time. Right now I am in the middle of my exams and I am struggling. Hope tomorrow will be more productive and better day for me. Have a nice day everyone!

Hello!
Thank you for sharing this - im glad you were able to reach out to 7cups 🙂
When you have just been diagnosed with something, it can be tricky to get your head around at first - but may also by comforting to be understood also. How are you feeling about being diagnosed?
It sounds like there's a lot of difficult things you struggle with, and I want you to know that you are not alone. Please feel free to reach out to any listener if you need some extra support 🙂
I wish you good luck for your exams - and wish you all the best in the future 🌟
Take Care,

Dear TabbyCat,
thank you a lot for replying. I am still not sure that I feel understood since I have been diagnosed. Actually I seem to be struggling more. The thing is I don't recognize most of the symptoms in myself and I certainly still don't know what caused it. However, I feel the need to accept this part of myself, a strong need. Because I have changed a lot and have experienced a lot due to the fact that I was not really psychologically well during certain periods in my life. I want to be myself, I want to be able to have my weird sense of humor about it all, I want to talk a lot and fast and be really, truly honest. I feel like these things are only possible if I accept my diagnosis, somehow when I am here with listeners who accept my diagnosis I feel like I can be all these things I mentioned. It is beautiful and frightening. I hope I will be okay.
Thank you to everyone reading this and possibly replying.
Have a nice day everyone!!

Your so welcome! I'm glad connecting to 7cups listeners has been helpful for you :D !
It must be hard struggling to relate a lot of the symptoms to your experiences. Are you able to go through the reasons for this diagnosis with the person who diagnosed you?
Accepting yourself is a really amazing thing, however it can take time.
Small steps - you'll get there 🙂🌟
I'm proud of you!
