Borderline Personality Disorder Life Stories13 year old with bipolar disorder and self injuresI don't really know how to start, so I guess I'll start at the beginning... I am 13 years old and was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) earlier this year. It didn't come as much as a shock to me as it did everyone else. A close friend of mine over the Internet had been diagnosed with BPD a few weeks before I was and she thought that I might be Bipolar, it turned out I was. I always knew I was different. The medication I'm on, Depakote has not helped much with my depression. But it seems to make me a bit bearable and I seem to be somewhat happier now. Adults don't know what it is like being as young as me and having this illness... and you all may say that you know how I feel all you want, but unless you've been down the road I'm walking you don't know anything. However, my close friend, she knows what I'm going through because she is walking with me down, along that path of BPD and Self mutilation. Yes, I - at 13 - am a self injurer, I can even tell you total number of cuts I have made on my body, however I do not want people that I don't know worried about me... that is my story.
