Emotionally unstable peronality disorder (BPD)

Hello people, My names Dave as you can see. I have been diagnosed with the above!!! I suppose I have been like this for many years, well since i was a child anyway ( now 40). I ahe spent time in psychiatric hospitals and now also have a criminal record due ti the above illness. I would dearly love to talk to anyone else who has been diagnosed with BPD and am trying to seek help from turning down the dark path from where there is no return only ultimate peace and quite where no one can hurt me anymore.
