Other Hiya here I am - BPD & OCD with complex trauma

[mytearsaregenuine]

hi. I am 38, female, live in the UK. I am dealing with complex trauma issues around abuse and bullying in my childhood.

I am formally diagnosed with BPD/EUPD (borderline pd) and OCD (NOS) but also battle religious type/scrupulosity, binge eating and my therapist says I have complex trauma.

I am currently in therapy- trauma therapy and have had DBT which I also use. therapist suggested I reach out to others in same boat.

Have you checked out Home | NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness ?

Whilst a lot of disorders share symptoms, and trauma both causes and exacerbates a great many disorders, (10 people can each experience the same traumas & end up with 10 very different results); our focus here is only on one of them, PTSD/CPTSD. That’s the wealth of our shared experience. NAMI, on the other hand, focuses on all disorders, the entire durn spectrum. Which should make it a lot easier to connect with fellow BPD & OCD peeps :)

Did something in particular happen to make you decide to come here now?
