Hello everyone. I have BPD and to make a long story short, I have learned many ways to control it, and manage it to where it doesn't affect your life. If you would think that life lessons like this could benefit you, then please join my site as a community member.

Hi,

Your website is well layed out but why do you ask for a donation? I mean, why do you require it? Part of being selfless is helping others without looking for anything in return.

I am asking for donations because I and a few other affiliates are looking for financial gain to generate into more research of this disorder. We will donate our donations we recieve into the research that needs to go into the education and research of this disorder. There is not too much research for this disorder as compared to other disablities. We want to donate to the cause.

Okay, cool. Are you currently studying/working in the area? If this is already on your website, I apologise, but I did not read everything on it.

No friend, I am only a traveler on this road to recovery, and have been blessed with many oppurunities to insight and hope. There are BPDs who are further than me in recovery, and there are BPDs who are not as far as I am in recovery, but I feel it as my personal responsiblity to offer the hope which I have achieved in my life.

There is not alot of research to this disability, and there is definately not enough education either (hence the donation request). I firmly feel the best way to start to offer hope is by coming together as a community in whole and work from there. The more of us there are speaking our voices, the more we can accomplish. This is my intention as well as adding hope along the way.

Hi,

That's good - I appreciate your vision and determination. It's certainly true that BPD isn't talked about too much. To be honest, I don't understand it entirely myself either. I suspect that people who have BPD are often misdiagnosed as being just depressed. In fact, depression seems to be the base-line diagnosis that doctors use if they can't quite figure out what exactly has gone wrong in a person's life.

Depression along with many other illnesses have been misdiagnosed with BPD. Anxiety Disorders as one, mood disorders as another, personality disorders as another.

Really the only ones who know about BPD are the ones who suffer with it. We all speak a unique language that no one else gets. Here's an example:

One of my best friends is BPD and has a serious temper, I mean a half inch fuse temper. He is constantly fist fighting everyone, however, he has never laid a hand on me, instead we bond and talk all the time because we just get it.

Therapists who know about BPD know it INDIRECTLY, and can only observe it from an outside point of view. In fact anyone who is NOT BPD sees it indeirectly. Those who suffer with BPD know what its like and we all can just chat and get it and understand one another.

If you're wondering what BPD feels like, let me give you an anlogy. Think of a time where someone you loved so much broke your heart. Try and remember how desperate you were to get them back and that you would do anything to get them back. You became so desperate and obsessed with getting this person back that you forgot to manage everything else in your life, and this person took precedence. This is the best analogy I can give, but we'll take it a step further. No inagine that same feeling with any other type of rejection. You got laid off from a job, your mother looked at you the wrong way, your brother or sister said the wrong thing to you, someone just left for a short time but you constantly worry when they'll be back, or as simple as having a great day in your life and something ruined the rest of the day, and you blame God for messing up your life. I hope this can give some sence of understanding.

Yes BPD is very troublesome to us, and we need to get assistance for it. We need the education and the research for it. This is my, and everyone else who has BPD's hope.

God Bless.

Hi,

I was able to remember my past emotions based on the examples that you've used (e.g. losing a girlfriend and trying to get her back desperatly), but are you saying that this is how a person with BPD feels all of the time? I'll be honest with you again here: I don't have a clue what BPD feels like for someone. I have Asperger's Syndrome and with that comes depression, OCD, shyness, anxiety, etc.

BPD is the most researched Personality Disorder ever!!!
There is probably more research done on BPD than all the other PD's put together.
