News of Borderline Personality Disorder Forum

Hello,
I am a 40 yr old male that has been living with BPD and until recently, understanding what has caused me so much pain and agony throughout my life. Not only have I dealt with BPD but also depression, anxiety and also PTSD. I came to terms with being diagnosed with depression, anxiety and PTSD but something was still missing, thinking why can't I shake these emotions off? I would attach myself to negativity ...

I'm not suicidal, I never have been, I just always wanted the pain to end but I really want to keep living. How do you even pinpoint the problem when you feel like all your problems are so large when youre angry but then when you're sad it feels like I'm bothering people by having issues? I dont even know where to begin. I have such low self worth and self of identity, I can't ...

Hi all,

I highly suspect I have BPD. I'm hopefully getting a proper diagnoses of whatever is wrong in a couple months, and I have a question.

So one of the criteria for BPD is "unstable relationships", and whenever I'm asked if my relationships are unstable I'm not sure what to answer. Having an outside opinion would be really helpful.

A lot of my relationships, I finally noticed, tend to be very intense inside my ...

I'm new to this site, I'm new to believing i have BPD so bare with me.
In a nutshell i have manic depression/anxiety and have been in counselling for years, i show nearly all the symptoms of BPD and my doctor, referred me to CMHT 4 times and each time they reject me, my counsellor says i'm too 'risky' for her help and my doctor doesn't know what to do.

i cycle through suicidal thoughts/actions/attempts, ...

i'm tired of this question. have been obsessed since 2013. i keep on blaming that if my childhood were different... i wouldnt have nervous breakdown.
cause of nervous breakdown: made gay pass on a friend

i've been making excusing for my action ever since 2013. that i blame it on my past, childhood n etc...

We're in the middle of a global pandemic where social distancing is key, and I kissed someone. We've both been cautious to keep a good distance from everyone else for the past few weeks, including each other, but we ###$ up and made out. Now they're a little upset with me for pulling back and want me to come over to their place to hook up since we already broke the social distancing seal. I ...

Hi everyone,

It’s been a while.

Basically, it’s like the title says. I am confused.

Does anyone else have massive fluctuations in empathy levels?
I do. I either care about things far more than I should or not at all. I even find myself empathising with sociopaths sometimes.

I go through stages where my empathy is so low and then it goes right back up again.

I think it may be some kind of survival ...

To fellow borderlines, there is a male member on this forum who targets borderline women. He finds our emotional pain and anguish exciting and likes to masturbate over it. I learned this the hard way in private messaging. I don't want any other women to have to put up with this predation. Be careful if a forum member private messages you *mod edit*.
