Recent posts by Lily82 made me think of what is abuse.

I feel as Lily is saying non-perfect environment is an abusive environment. I must misunderstand her posts, though.

I admit that my behavior toward my son is often improper. Does it meen I am an abusing mother?

I have a BPD diagnosis, but I'm in much doubt about it and I want a couple of things clearing up.

1. Does everybody with BPD have a strong fear of abandonment and/or rejection and go to great lengths to avoid perceived abandonment?
2. Do those with BPD have 'spells' of illness? Ie, a few months where they are 'more stable' than others?
(When I am well, I can function fine... I do lots of ...

I'm new here so I don't know if this post will qualify as a "trigger", as some others are marked, but I really have no idea who to talk to about this and I'm hoping for some much needed insight and advice.

My husband & I have been married for nearly 2 years and we fight constantly. We've recently started seeing a marriage counselor but have only had 1 session and I'm hesitant to contact ...

Ugh... I want it to stop!

I felt slighted by my boyfriend last night because he didn't feel like having sex. Every time he isn't in the mood I automatically think that it's because he's seeing someone else...annoyed with me...planning on dumping me...it is horrible that I equate sex with how worthy I am to my boyfriend. Sometimes I don't want to have sex.. and it's nothing to do with him. So why do I ...

Okay so we all know what those 3 little letters stand for but....

love and light and have fun x x

Okay i am not schizophrenic but during my life i have been diagnosed with BPD and also bipolar at times. Only type 2 though.
If i was to abuse susbtance i know the difference between those kinds of paranoid and stress related paranoid.
I have been under extreme stress and erratic behaviours that lead me to do and say things to others which caused them to be disturbed, concerned or avoid me. That happens with ...

I recently moved into a new building and have gotten close with my new roommate. We've developed a very brotherly bond and he's almost become my surrogate older brother, where I seem to play the "kid brother" role. I don't mind that all the time because I understand I am the younger and shorter person, but I also have an inferiority complex, which isn't helped by this. I really want to trust this person because ...

I get along with people for the most part... I really do, and I enjoy their company. But... there seem to be a lot of things that get in the way, right?

I'm afraid to be myself, that's the biggest thing. A lot of the time, I'm not even sure who "myself" is... I will often kind of mirror people, or be complimentary toward them at least. It makes me feel connected to them, without ...

Hello,

I know feelings of abandonment are symptomatic of BPD and death could be seen as the ultimate abandonment, but is occasionally obsessing about death; dying; growing old and losing the person you've been with for all your life; worrying that something horrible is going to happen to your loved ones etc.. a particular symptom of BPD or is this just life?

I can sometimes start crying or at least feel really emotional as I ...
