Therapy and medication if your therapist and you decide that is the route to go.  You are not alone in your diagnosis.  At least you know what the issue is, continue with therapy as long as you need to and don't feel bad for having BPD - it's nothing  you asked for, and nothing YOU can control.  God bless!!!!

You should still talk to your counselor.  He/she has dealt with these same issues before, and may be helpful in suggesting things you can do to make it easier on yourself.  They are there to assist you!

Please take it easy.  You really need to stop hating yourself.  You should talk to your counselor.

I understand very well what you're going through. Even if things seem hopeless at the moment, try to remember it is only temporary. Are you on meds at this time? if so, they may need longer to take effect or may need adjusting. Are you in therapy? Pls talk to your dr and let him know how your feeling. Try to keep a journal of your moods and take it to the dr so he can see what adjustments are needed. Take care, and feel free to email me, I have bp and have a daughter with bp

If it is someone else that is giving you crap that is making you "allow" yourself to feel bad about yourself, tell them to stop - or remove yourself from the situation. \nOtherwise, this is something that has to come from within.\nEveryday look in the mirror and point out something that you see in yourself that you like, and OUTLOUD, acknowledge it to yourself. Same with daily accomplishments, no matter how small - tell yourself, OUTLOUD - Good job! Way to go! You rock girlfriend, Whatever. But no matter how you have lost it - or are losing it- (your self-esteem) you also are the only one to get it back. The fact that you care enough about yourself to ask for help tells me you're a great person and you're already acknowledging that you DO like yourself and care about yourself - or you wouldn't be asking. You'd just go crawl in a hole - So.........YOU ROCK GIRLFRIEND! Hold your head up and move on and don't let anyone steal your joy and you'll have so much self-esteem it'll piss everyone off!  HAHA!

i have problems dealing with the same thing. it's like you are just waiting for the other shoe to drop or the bomb to go off.  i have had a lot of problems dealing with stuff in my past and still feel unworthy of love and good things sometimes. just know that you are a good person and worthy of every minute of happiness. keep telling yourself that and eventually you'll start believing it too. ;) eventually bad things will happen, just deal with them and get back to the happy times as quickly as possible. \n\nbtw for some of y'all up there, it's not always cause we are looking to dump someone. sometimes we just have our own issues to work through that have nothing to do with the other person. give her a break and if you can't give good advice don't give any. lol cause non-constructive criticism borders on abuse.

Why are you so sensitive.  My guess is you have some self-esteem issues.

Ask you doctor to refer you to a therapist.  I have been where you are and it practically destroyed my life.  Therapy helped enormously and I am back on an even keel now...;

Find a friend, if that doesn't work there is always BEN&JERRYS Chunky Monkey, it always makes everything better.\n\nBut honestly, I have felt all of those things, and that is not a good place to be.  I hope that you can realize that you are special and of infinate worth.  It breaks my heart that you feel that way. Feel free to email and we can talk, you don't have to feel so alone and that can be a start.

You have some very serious depression going on here, as well as extremely poor self esteem.  Find someone you can trust to talk to because you need to.  Go to your family doctor and he/she will refer you to someone who can help.

It sounds like you might be suffering from depression, I had similar feelings of self hatred when my depression was bad. I self harmed as well. I've been seeing a psychiatrist and have been on antidepressants now for the past 18 months and things are a lot better. But you need to admit that you can't handle this alone and get some proper professional help. Go and speak to your GP, explain how you feel and hopefully he should be able to sort out some help for you. Take care and stay safe.

You know that you are pretty, so nothing anyone says can change that.  Try writing a list of all of your good qualities, i.e., nice hair, nice handwriting, good body, pretty eyes, smart, popular etc.\n\nYou might want to check some self-help books out of the public library--there are many--and can be very helpful.  You also might want to see a doctor or counselor--you need to let it all out to someone you can trust.\n\nI hope you feel better very soon.  :)

It sound as perhaps you are depressed.  You also have avoidance issues.  It's a lot easier fixing someone else than figuring out your own underlying behavior. It's a lot of work. This is not uncommon. Some people can go all their life doing constructive things for others and coast along without resolve by isolating and keeping to themselves.\n\nThere are many reasons for this but as you can imagine, I can't name them all.  Don't be hard on yourself. It is a journey of self resolve that can only be done by you.  When you are really ready to conquer it, it takes courage and time.  It usually takes a therapist to dig down to those bare bone essentials.  If you do decide to use one, make sure up front that you need guidance and not someone that is going to push a pen around the paper while you talk.  You need to explore your fears.\n\nI wish you all the best.  You are sensitive and genuine.\n\nDebra

I think you could benefit from some psychological counseling. It sounds like you're depressed.
