Borderline Personality Disorder and PCOS, common?

It could be because I had BPD, and pretty much about the same time, I was insulin resistant, and had really bad acne. Now I just avoid any processed sugars. So I still eat fruits, but I don't overdo it. My favorite fruit are bananas, but I try to eat just half a banana at a time, and at the end of the day I finish up the other half, so I don't overload my system. When I really crave jam or something, I only get the ones with just fructose, meaning no sugar added. Same thing with pretty much everything else. Also juice that has no sugar added to it. But as far as BPD is concerned, I think the breakthrough for me happened when I found myself alone at one point, I just lost a "friend" that I thought meant a lot to me, turns out that person didn't really have the best intentions for me, but having that "abandonment' feeling again, somehow stirred the emotions within me, which were dormant inside. I think BPD's have a lot of emotions, but it's like they're underneath a block of ice. And sometimes some kind of abandonment has to happen again, in order for the BPD to feel again. They have to recreate that abandonment in order to break that block of ice. And being alone with no one to turn to helps as well. Because as long as BPD's have someone to explain their troubles to, they won't really get help, because this is their way of not dealing with the issue and their emotions themselves. They talk out their emotions rather than feel them. But yea coincidentally the two, BPD, and PCOS, stopped at about the same time. So eliminate sugars from your diet, drink water with meals, moisturize and get in touch with your real self. Also look to your past, your family members, who you were raised by, because oftentimes BPD sufferers get that way as a result of being wounded by one family member, while not being protected by another family member from that wound, or being abandoned by a family member only to be wounded later on. I read somewhere how BPD starts when the BPD person is hurt by someone, and a key figure in their life fails to prevent that hurt. Also BPD's, as sad as this is, oftentimes are born to parents, or a parent, sibling, uncle, who has a personality disorder, and this disorder isn't necessarily BPD as well. Sometimes, sadly, BPD's are born to an anti-social parent, aka sociopath, or sometimes even a narcissist. So just look at your past, put things together, and learn to feel. Feeling feels overwhelming at first, but pretty quickly you learn to incorporate your feelings into your thinking nature, and that's when you will feel the safest. The one thing that makes BPD sufferers feel safe is actually the thing they have been avoiding all along, feeling. Feelings keep you safe, trust me. Good luck.
