Q: BPD with ADD and OCD ?
asked by: Raene on March 15th, 2008

I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder a year ago, and have anxiety/panic attacks. I'm being told by many people to get tested for ADD and OCD on top of that... I'm definitely not a hypochondriac, but they just seem to fit... So basically I want to ask any fellow BPD's out there, can I really have that many 'conditions', or can they all be summed up in one diagnosis, or..????? It's been really bad the past month and I don't get to see my therapist for a couple months, so any advice would be much appreciated... Thanks.

it DOES happen
You can have multiple 'problems' due to chemical imbalances in the brain. I have Tourettes Syndrome, OCD, ADHD, and some kind of explosive thingy. When you mix them all up it is hard to tell what is doing what, you know? Best of luck and treat the ones that are really 'altering' you. Leave the other alone for now....1 at a time.

You can have more than one diagnosis some people can have 3 or more although the most people can expect is two.

My advice would be ind a support group for BPD if you can't find one then ask if proffessional can start one.

Being with others with the same diagnosis can hel.

Hope this is of help

It is possible I have bi polar type 2, adhd, ocd, and have overcome my dyslexia. I have been working through all of these for years and I find that I am at a functioning level after years of crazy episodes and destructive behavior. I also had my string of weekly panic attacks for a few years. Best of luck to you, don't be afraid or crippled by anything they diagnose you with. Everyone has their problems, dealing with yours and fighting through it all will help you. Working through things like bi polar take time, I suggest keeping a good therapist (if you can afford) and keeping up excercising, both will help incredibly. Fish oils have helped me a lot and make my moods more manageable. Best of luck, you are not alone.
