i just thought this would make an interesting question... i know a lot of PDed people complain about the nons who pop up now and then, but how would it be if things were reversed? - If your partner turned out to have a PD (or any other mental health issue) - what would be OK with you?

would some disorders be ok and others not? what about issues... any deal breakers? do you think ...

This morning I laid next to my boyfriend. He looked at me and reached his arms out to me and pulled me close to him. I thought everything was OK. I cuddled him the rest of the morning.

I talked to him about it. He said he doesn't remember any of it.

I feel devastated now. I wanted so badly for that to have been genuine. I miss cuddling with him so much.

We have ...

This is a difficult topic for me.

I am posting this thread because I am looking for feedback from individuals diagnosed with BPD -- looking to engage with those that stand upon similar ground and see if there are any other commonalities (and trying to pinpoint where we diverge). I am conflicted because I have been diagnosed with BPD for about six months, but the diagnosis still doesn't make complete sense. A lot of it ...

I just recently dumped my therapist because she pissed me off. I've been suicidal the past several days and found out that my mom was just diagnosed with BPD. I wasn't surprised. I also wasn't surprised when my sister was diagnosed a year ago. I was sure I had it too but just hadn't been diagnosed. I would sit in my therapist's office telling her all my symptoms, which I now know are all symptoms ...

I try really hard to be a nice person and a "good girl". I hate trying so hard to be nice all of the time, it's really draining. I'm actually a really judgmental and angry person. So I suppose I am two faced, as much as I hate to admit it.
When I was younger, I had a really smart mouth. I said things to shock people, to try to get attention. Frequently, I ended ...

I'm a 20 year old female. I have every major symptom, and I'll explain how they all affect me.

Fear of abandonment: When I used to date, if someone dumped me (or I dumped them and tried to get back with them, and they rejected me) I would go to extremes. I'd tell them I was pregnant, I'd attempt suicide, I'd self-harm, I'd threaten them and the ones they love, etc. When I leave my ...

I, myself, am an only child... or, at least, was raised an only child (I have step-siblings & a half-sibling, all of whom were significantly older than me & I never got to know them.

I am curious to learn how many BPDs here are only children & how many of you have siblings.

I've been crying for most of the day, but in my last bout of crying, I just... stopped. I was sad, but then all of a sudden there was absolutely nothing on my mind... I couldn't even put a thought in my head.

Anyone ever get this? It's new to me.
