Um...without diminishing my ability to accept and love as many alters as needs to be...can an essence of 'something' or 'someone' ever NOT become another alter? I had a sense about someone on the edge of consciousness. A boy, 10 or 11; someone who teases or bullies or has tantrums. It was odd. Alex had mentioned someone had stolen something from his room (inside home) and my son had a (hallucination) of 'a kid' saying ...

Coming to the board , after I called for appointment with a doctor,( first ever) they never called back, So im really hoping someone here might be able to offer some suggestions. All the online tests tell me i have both, or a good bit of avoidance personality disorder and schizoid personality disorder. And my life shows it, no friends outside of a few "business" friends. From what i have read, going to ...

Hello, I am new to the forum, and I'm hoping that some of the people here might be able to help me with a decision I need to make in the near future. I was formally diagnosed with BPD in my late teens. Over time, I have learned how to cope with the majority of the outward symptoms. I don't think that most people would be able to tell that I have BPD at this ...

She smells like rotten decay, if ...

It seems that perhaps my plan to come here more often again is working :)
Everytime I come though I get stuck with a question in my head that won't shift.
What happened to Borg?

Good thoughts to you all,

Has anyone ever been dissociative that they feel physically high?

It happened again tonight. For the longest time I thought that my medications were causing it. But it didn't make sense, because I take nothing that could make me high except 2.5 mg of valium. And that's a minimal dose. Then one night it happened and when I came out of it, I realized I didn't even take my meds that night. Tonight it started ...

Hello my lovely BPD forum! :D

What do you think are the differences between the two, if you do at all, I guess theirs usually a few?

Alternative question (bonus points! :) ). From my understanding, BPD and NPD have splitting mechanisms, why do you think BPD is self-defeating/sacrificing while NPD is self-serving? Is BPD and NPD something ...

Okay I don't know if this is allowed or not, but I figured it was worth asking.

Is it okay to post drawings of your alters?
