Question by JNNY: Where can I find Help for Borderlin Personality Disorder?
I dont know where to begin, the internet seems to have very little information on finding a GOOD BPD mental health professional..

How can I find the right person for me? I live in NYC, so I am lucky there I guess.

You can ask a therapist how much experience they have with the disorder and go from there. If they don’t have much experience, ask them if they can recommend someone. I found a web site called BPD Sanctuary that has a listing of some docs. Here are some but also check out that site for more info about BPD.
