Hi to all...

Why do you think people with BPD stay in relationship's that deep down, we know aren't healthy/right?

Would love to hear feedback...

Hi, This is my first post. I have suffered with BPD for many years but over the last year its been worse. I have had a few "episodes" that has resulted in the loss of friendship and family members. I guess people just don't want to put up with me being depressed and suicidal. I have started to feel better but now I have no friends and no family and I feel like I don't ...

Hi to all...

Hi to all...
I live in Suffolk, England and have been recently diagnosed with BPD. I've heard that the most effective therapy for the condition is DBT but from the reasearh I've done so far, it would seem that this is not available in my area. Does anyone know if this is the case or not?

I've only recently been officially diagnosed with BPD and I want to say thank you for everyone's response's to my post's so far. It's so comforting to know that I aren't the only person in the world who feels the way I feel at times and it's been a comfort to read other's post's too. Seriously... Thank you all!

Who the heck does this?

Hello all,

Can somebody tell me more about this aspect of BPD if possible? As it forms a major part and important component of the diagnostic criteria etc

This may not make much sense but...
Have any of you ever acquired (or found it ...

We have been together a year and at times we get in arguements and she tells me she wants me out of our apartment. It gets bad when I tell her Im going to stay the night with a family member to let things cool which is what I did this time because she tried to kick me out of the car without my keys to my car or home and then called the cops ...

Citalopram has done wonders for levelling my moods a bit and making sure I don't sink rapidly into any kind of depression or obsessive thinking. Side effects were bad for the first week and then abated, apart from one...

I have a feeling that if I didn't have the numbing effect of the drugs I would feel far more upset about this:
