BPD & DID
I was recently diagnosed with BPD and DID. I have good days and bad days. I had an episode with psychosis a little over a year ago and I can't get over the fear that it will return. I take my medicine faithfully even though it's causing me to gain weight. When will this fear subside? I finally broke down and told my family my diagnosis'. And I couldn't ask for better support. But this fear, is so overwhelming.
I'm sorry to hear that there hasn't been a way to speak about this with anyone, having a diagnosis of both bpd and did, is very difficult. I have did myself, amongst other things and it can be very mentally, emotionally and physically overwhelming/overstimulating some days. However, when it comes to my experience with did, i use journaling to cope with the switching out, that way each alter/identity/persona is able to vocalize how they are feeling.
Thank you for your kindness. It means the world to me that someone understands.
Anytime, I know it be really difficult to have a diagnosis both having a great deal in dissociation, just know you are doing the best you can 💖
