Hi,

I've been lurking for a few days and after reading a few posts I am now quite curious about something. This is directed towards those whom have been "diagnosed". Why were you diagnosed with AsPD? Did you go into therapy for something else and have a run in with a particularly insightful doctor? Was it a run in with the law? I more would simply like to know what drove you to a professional ...

I recently have been diagnosed with BPD and also had the end of a two year relationship fall apart. I know looking back that 95% of the problems we had were because of my problem. I know that I need help and am seeking it. I love this girl greatly and wonder if anyone out there ever has had much luck with fixing relationships after fixing themselves. I know that I cant even try to ...

Aware of my place in the scheme
Taken up with those always put down

Watching where the crowd is going
Moving, but without a direction

I think to escape thoughts unchanging
Rewinding the clock to lose time remaining

Muted voice with blackened eyes
Same as what I am inside
Scorched churches with skies of ash
Nothing here to seek or save

I can always look back and pick regrets
Will I find my purpose? Meaning? ...

Goddess of flesh impertinent in your image
God of reason has lost his sense of being
What is seen and what is felt do not coincide
Mother the chaos known so well from inside
Foster every sentiment
Internalize the cage

A gentle reproach
A harsh reminder
The naked truth evading the mirror of doubt
I have seen her face but his distracts the visage
Who can marry iron and clay

Shiva comes to destroy the ...

Has anyone with HPD on here ever had conversion disorder? If so what happened? What is your story? I've read on here about somatization but haven't seen anything on conversion disorder.

So I am not sure how to write about this, I am a sex addict. I am sinking in my addiction alone, there is no one around I would trust to listen, who would challenge my lies, who could help me fix myself without me advertising to my problem.

So here is the story, I started masterbating at a young age, about 4th grade. Porn was always in the house, and then we got computers. ...

Here's a brief background:
I am 47 years old. I have 2 daughters, ages 22 & 24 who I raised alone after their dad was killed in an auto accident in 1994. At the time, their dad and I had been separated for about 4 months after 8 years of very rocky marriage. He was an unpredictable and sometimes violent alcoholic who came from a VERY disfunctional family. In 2001 I met a wonderful man ...

Hi:
I normally hang out on the HPD forum. Latest information I have points to Impulsive Borderline Personality (Borderline with Antisocial and Hysterical Personality characteristics) as being an area i should read upon. Does anyone know of any books that targets specifically, or in its majrity, this type of Borderline Personality?

Many thanks for your help,
Musician

What usually happens with DBT? I am starting that next week. My therapist says that I will see her about once every 5 weeks and do DBT every week for 2 hours and then see the psychiatrist I guess once a month (whatever the normal time of seeing her is idk). I'm nervous about everything. I guess I'm just used to things being like they are and feeling like I feel (I really get tired ...

Just worked on this...
