I was diagnosed with BPD in 2019 I believe while I was working for a poultry production company. I've had the speech impediment my entire life as well as depression and anxiety. I'm skeptical of the diagnosis though. My distrust of people in general sort of prevents me from being completely open with doctors. I am medicated however with an antidepressant and an antipsychotic so at least I got that going for me. I'm kind of an extremely introverted person as it is and the stuttering made me a borderline hermit. I guess you could label me a loner as I don't have many friends because of the choices I've made. Honestly life hasn't been so great. Ever. I found peace in drugs however as unfortunate as that might be. My parents are truly the reason I'm still kicking though. Without them I couldn't tell you where I would be. The speech impediment has made life much more difficult than I anticipated. I never thought as an adult that it would be a real hindrance but unfortunately it is. From jobs to relationships it definitely has had a negative impact. And I'm not looking for pity or encouragement as I'm at peace with all this. There's still hope for me to improve my life but at the same time it's insanely hard to do so. Feel free to ask me anything if it helps someone else or whatever the intent of this post is.
