I need advice.
« on: February 19, 2012, 03:32:24 AM »
I am seventeen years old. I have been in therapy before and was diagnosed with PTSD. I have a huge problem. I lie all the time. I have been doing research and think that I have Borderline Personality Disorder and I also think that I am a habitual liar. I do not want to tell my family, because I don't lie to hurt anyone or anything like that, I just lie. It's almost like I have to. I feel like I am a bad person and want help, but I don't want my family to judge me or think that I lie about everything, because I don't. I don't know what I should do. Advice?

I think if you talk with your family it would be a good start they love you i hope and if you sit down and explain things I think you could come up with a solution?

I tend to lie a lot as well, but I do not have PTSD. It is completely understandable, seeing that you have it, for you to have negative outcomes. What the problem is with me, I think I'm scared what people will think if I tell them the truth, so I only tell the truth when I know it will not cause any problems. If you talk to your family or a therapist, I bet you can get a lot worked out. Good luck :)
