I cannot sustain relationships with friends, I get so jealous of them being friends with other people that I just shut down around them and degrade our relationship. It goes from seeing them as best friends and then I say I hate them a day later.I keep eating even though I am so insecure about my body and then kick myself later for eating so much. I cut myself when I get into dark moods that seem to take hold of me (emptiness, anger), because I need to feel something.I look around my room and can't seem to be looking through a stranger's eyes as if everything is new to me.I used to smoke marijuana because it made me feel normal, but I am trying to quit, but I still crave it when I think about smoking.Sometimes I feel like I'm not a real person.Help me?

Could I have a psychiatrist have a look at this because I'm fairly sure I have BPD
Relist: Other.I would like a psychiatrist to look at this please.
Hi there, have just received your reply and thank you so much ..as it takes time to get to us here..with minimal staff on..If you go to your Dr he or she will have a psychiatrist on their books that they could write a referral letter to this is usually the best way to get results as otherwise it takes months to get in to see one and be assessed as it sounds like a very good idea to me..Your Dr and psychiatrist will work together to bring you the best results and any treatment plan that may be needed to help with your recovery plan..Kind thoughtsKaryn
Thank you KarynI have already booked an appointment with my doctor for the 3rd of February in order to get a referral to a psychiatrist. And I also have an appointment with my psychologist tomorrow afternoon.
Hi , that 'is ' great news you are already 'half' way there now and will be in very' good capable hands finding someone caring, understanding and supportive will help you very' much to get through this difficult time..Kind thoughtsKaryn
Hi there, just wanted to add that your psychologist will most likely do a full assessment for you if you ask for bpd as this will be absolutely crucial in determining what it is that may be a predominant factor ..The assessment will involve family history, Dr and medical reports.. current symptoms ..and behavioral issues and thinking process..this will help him or her evaluate a correct assessment..Hope this helps Kind thoughtsKaryn
