Can't rid my world of unhealthy jealousy in my relationship.

Don't know what I'm going to do.

Just feel so insecure all the time, tried all sorts of courses, been having DBT for over a year.

Don't like when my partner is around other men or has male friends.

Just can't cope, I'd do anything to take away this irrational fear.

Been going on for 2 years now, almost the entire length of the relationship. ...

Hi
I am here just looking for some pointers and advice on my issue.

I am a 38 year old male. My life hasn't gone the way I would have expected it to go by my age. For a number of years I have been trying to heal and understand what's been 'my problem'. I have had therapy for years and tried many different things like years of meditation (which has helped) among other things. ...

Hi! I was diagnosed with BPD almost 2 years ago now, I have the most amazing therapist who is more or less on call for me and has worked so hard with me to recover. I feel like my insight into my thoughts, feelings and reactions has improved so much but I still find myself feeling rejected/unwanted by my partner over tiny things.

I wondered if my medication is not right. I'm currently on a ...

By saying mean things. He says he gets hurt by me a lot and feels alone when he’s with me. I told him I was settling for him and he’s broke, and I hate having to drive him around. But he’s actually an amazing guy who put effort into getting a real job and he walks there if he has to. He takes me out and pays for everything. I told him we’re not compatible ...

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post to this forum. I am a 43 year old man living with a few mental health disorders, namely Bipolar, OCD, PTSD and Borderline.

I was diagnosed when I first started getting treatment at the age of 32. I had been having the symptoms and had no idea what I was dealing with.

I heard that men with Borderline Personality Disorder was uncommon. I thought it would have gone ...

My best friend, who I’ve known since childhood, has some very serious mental health issues. Like me, she’s on the autism spectrum, and has some issues with her mood and anxiety. In recent years, some stuff has unraveled that has made me suspect that she may have BPD as well.

For instance, she has been in a very turbulent romantic relationship for a while. Granted, she’s been with this person for a few years (they’re ...

Hello everyone. I am a 35yo Borderline male who lives in the Northeastern United States. I am just starting to try to overcome my illness, though I've been aware of it since I was about 20.

I have a history of self-harm - hitting myself, burning, other - and severe substance abuse issues. I've caused myself brain damage while attempting to "drink myself to death". I thought I would never recover at all.

I have ...

Hello all. I am a nonBPD who has been dating my BPD partner for almost ten years.

My partner always feels as if people like me better than they like him and quickly will disassociate with mutual friends because rather than “compete” he’d rather not try at all. That by his own admission. This has happened a handful of times over the past ten years and always goes very poorly and creates an awkward situation. ...

my friends are very important to me as I hate being lonely and I've worked really hard to build a circle of friends for the last 12 months. problem is all my friendships now feel troubled and I'm fighting the impulse to burn all my bridges. :evil:

one friend keeps trying to do psychotherapy on me and I want to tell her to stop ...

So as you can see by the title, my abusive mother took advantage of the fact that today was my birthday (please don’t wish me happy birthday) and came to give me a card. Mind you I have not spoken to this woman since I was 12... about 8 years ago. But it’s ok for her to just pop out of the ######6 blue and pretend like nothing happened. Pretend like she wouldn’t brutally beat ...
